    Make cell blank if there is no data in the cell that it is referring too.

    I am using this formula and it works great but if there is no info in that cell then it gives me a 0 or if it is in the date column it gives me a 1/0/00.
    can I use the if(isblank function or what would be the best way to make that cell blank unless there is data in that cell.

    ='[02-28-2012 Raw Apples.xlsx]Processing'!B6343

    Hi

    Try something like this.

    =if('[02-28-2012 Raw Apples.xlsx]Processing'!B6343="";""; [02-28-2012 Raw Apples.xlsx]Processing'!B6343)
    Regards

    That gives me an error, something is wrong with that formula

    Try to change the semi-colons, with gomma

    =if('[02-28-2012 Raw Apples.xlsx]Processing'!B6343="","", [02-28-2012 Raw Apples.xlsx]Processing'!B6343)

    I don't have your workbook, to see..what's wrong....

    The point is: If(that cell)="","",that cell)

    I figured it out. Thanks

    =IF(ISBLANK('[02-28-2012 Raw Apples.xlsx]Processing'!B6345),"",'[02-28-2012 Raw Apples.xlsx]Processing'!B6345)
