In a formula for one cell it tests to see if value ="". If so it set a different cell to "". Now in a separate formula that is applying a mathematics formula based on several cell values. For the ones where the value has never been set i.e. blank the calculation returns 0 as the cell value as the expression is evaluated. But for the cell where the value was set to "", the value returned as part of the expression evaluation is #VALUE!
Why is that?
Trying to work around if a cell was blank instead of setting to "", I tried setting the new cell's value G7 to that of the blank cell. That set the new cell (G7) to 0 not blank e.g. =IF(ISBLANK(F7),F7,C7-F7) where F7 is blank.
My goal is to do further math using G7, but I want the blank to be treated like 0, but not show as 0. I am trying not to have to create messy formula that has to test every cell in the formula for blank.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
