Equal figure only if there is data

I have a rota on sheet one and a costs table on sheet 2. Sheet 2 currently grabs data from sheet one and it all works great

Colum A1 grabs name and colum Z1 grabs costs. for all my staff it works good but i have supervisors that are on salery, i need z1 to report a cost of 350 but only if there is a name in colum a1. any way i can do this?

thanks

In Z1 enter =IF(A1="","",350)

it does work because A1 is already set to grab whatever name is in A1 Sheet 1, therefor when there is no name in A1 Sheet 2 it displays a 0 which i gues your code picks up the 0 as text, i suppose is there a way to tell it to = that amount only if there is actual text not a number?

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results.
