    you could insert the formula into an IF function that will return a result if cell H4 is not blank. If H4 is blank, cells A4 and B4 will remain blank.

    e.g

    =IF(H4<>"",your_formula,"")

    replace your_formula with the formula you have in A3 and repeat for formula you have in B3... then copy down as far as you want.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Hi Antonio,

    This does work but copys when any cell has a value entered in it could it be made so that it only copies the the A&B cells above only if or when something is entered in the next cell in row H?

    Another way is to conditionally format the cells so that if H4 is blank, then the font colour of the results cell matches the background colour...so effectively making it invisible.

    Question Sorry NBVC but I can't get it to work

    in the conditional formating I cannot get it to allow me to chose a different cell than the one I am in so I can't get it to do the if H=""

    You will have to choose Formula Is from 1st drop down rather than Cell Value is

    and then enter formula, e.g =H4<>"" or =H4=""
