I need blank cells

Copper Contributor

Hi all. I'm new to this group & still learning lots about Excel.

I am working on a sheet where I have two separate cells with values contained within. These refer to stock amounts. The first is the physical floor stock, the second is the minimum balance before a re-order is triggered.

To get my re-order cell reference I am using this: =SUM(J5-I5)

What I need is for the re-order cell to show blank, if the physical floor stock (J5) exceeds the trigger amount cell (I5).

If you could assist it would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

=IF(J5>I5,"",SUM(J5-I5))

Does this return the expected result?

Thank you for the help. your formula was almost on the money: =IF(J5>I5,"",SUM(J5-I5))

All I needed to do to make it work was change the (=IF(J5>I5... to =IF(I5>J5

Other than that, it is perfect!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the help.
