Is it possible to inset a bank into a cell, and use that cell in a subsequent addition formula?
For example;
A1 contains 1
B1 contains 2
C1 contains =IF(A1=1,"",3)
D1 contains =A1+B1+C1
In the above case the cell D1 contains #VALUE and not 3, whereas if C1 were actually blank D1 would contain 3.
The reason I ask is that a blank is not the same value mathematically as 0. The latter is the number zero, whereas the former is the lack of any number.
Thanks
Andrew
