Adding a value to an cell that has no value but has a formula

Brass Contributor

Hi Team,

wondering if there is a way to put a value say "1000' into a cell that is empty (no value) but has a formula in it, and ignores it if it does have a number in it...any offers of assistance would be greatly appreciated..

Make the formula return 1000 instead of 0 or "-" (I don't know what it currently returns in the marked cells)

Hi Hans,
The formula is looking at another cell and if that cell returns no value then i would like to add the "1000" into that cell, hope that makes sense....

Sorry, I don't understand. Can you explain in more detail?

@Hans Vogelaar Hi Hans,
i have used a choose(match function looking at four columns, and it picks the values in the quantity breaks and should return the break $ value when the qty is added however we have to few values the $ value does not show or is incorrect until i add more values to overcome this issue i have attached the sheet for reference for you to see what i am doing as i find it difficult to explain it in more detail sorry....so best to see for your self....highlighted cells for reference and some notes to explain via text box, sorry i am bit new to xcel so apologies

I don't understand why cell AB5, under the text "QB2", refers to cell N5, under the text "QB1", etc.

But perhaps the attached version will do what you want.
