Any Excel wizards out there???
Basically need a formula that will leave a cell blank if theres is no data entered in the cell its looking at.
I have an 'IF' statement that works out a simple 'YES' or 'NO' answer, but if the cell is empty which it looks at it leaves 'YES' in the cell. This is my formula:
=IF(J10<1000,"YES","NO")

=IF(J10=0,,IF(J10<1000,"YES","NO"))
Will give a 0 in the cell if J10 is blank, though you can enter something between the 2 commas if you want something else to appear there. Its a nested if function.

Code:
IF
J10 is not equal to ""
IF
J10 is less than 1000, show "yes"
ELSE
show "no"
END IF
ELSE
show ""
END IF
Everything within the "s is classed as text. So "" is blank/no text. "yes" really just shows yes without the "s

Just a nested IF statement. One IF statement inside of another.
Even spaced it out neatly to make it easier to follow.
