Leave the Cell Blank When Either Cell is Empty

Hi All, I would like to know how to leave the cell D4 empty (Don't want to show "Don't match") when either cell B4 or C4 is not filled? Same goes the row 5 as well.

Hi OliverScheurich,

Is there any method to achieve this combination? When both values are the same, display "Match". When 1 value is not inserted, don't display. When values are not matched, display "Don't Match".
