The problem is that "" is a text value and text is > numbers (think of sorting from low to high you want it to start with 0-9999... and then A-Z ...)
So as suggested by Oliver you can use NUMBERVALUE() or you can use N() or you can change the formulas in B573 and B638 to return an actual 0 instead of "" or maybe return "Y"/"N" and check for those values. If you want something more 'hidden" you can actually use " " vs " " and check >" " or check LEN()
