Make Formula Cells Empty Rather Than Empty Text
Apr 17, 2008
Is it possible to make a cell "really" blank/empty based on an If statement? For instance:
=if(a1>10,a1,"")
Has a value_if_false of "". But Excel interprets this a bit differently than a cell that never had anything typed into it.
So if you have a column full of this formula copied down, and hit <control+down arrow>, you will go straight to the bottom and skip over all rows. Whereas if you have a column with values and empty cells alternating and hit <control+down arrow>, you will only skip the empty cells and go to the next value. Excel treats the conditionally empty cells as if they have a value, when it comes to this type of navigation. This holds even if you copy and paste "Values" for the cells over the formulas.
Is there any way to tell Excel to make the cells truly empty?

I'm creating a "universal-fluctuating" vendor inventory return worksheet for a auto parts store that consist of one criteria (cores, warranties, or N/R ) and will return one or two results of core cost and/or unit cost. This part of the task I have accomplished by using a drop down list for my criteria and my results will appear in two different columns using a Vlookup table. The problem is due to inventory fluctuating from cores and waranties on a month by month basis, vendor requiremnts differ for the number of units returned, and last make the boss happy on ink and papers supplies :D I was wondering if it is possible loop my code in a given column where it will move my code to the next row untill I reach a grand total?

Is a Cell with a formula (like shown below) considered true, or is it empty?
=IF(Scorecard!$B$13,Scorecard!$AD$4,"")
If Scorecard!$B$13 was False...
Would a cell with the above formula be considered?
True or Empty?
If Scorecard!$B$13 was True...
A cell with the above formula would be True.

Here find the excel file
My requirement
1) 4 values contains in each row based on the values from those cells the max value will display.
2) if more than 2 cells have empty,NR or NA text means the entire row has to delete.
3) if 2 or more that means 3 cells having values the empty cell,NR or NA cell will place value with the condition of macro that is 75% of other values which is maximum among them.

I have a long range of cells (U3:AX3), all of which are empty save one. Is there a way to search through the range of cells, and return the contents of the one cell that contains text?
I would do this with a series of nested IF statements if there weren't more than 30 of them!

I need to write a macro which checks cells in one column and if the cell is empty it deletes the whole row (which contains the cell).
I tried this code but it doesn't delete all rows with empty cells:

I need to compare some cells, but sometimes one or two cells can be empty (but sometimes none of them)
e.g. A1 = January
B1 =
C1 = January
D1 = January
E1 =
and I need to compare this cells A1:E1 and if text in not empty cells is the same then write TRUE to F1 and if not write FALSE.

I currently have created a form for the user to fill in details on my sheet. My idea is that when the user clicks a button, the macro will take that piece of text and populate my other sheet into the correct column. Therefore the task I am trying to resolve is copy the text into a field and then if the user clicks copy again, the text will fill into the field below as it is empty and so forth until the user has finished entering values. I have the following setps in pseudocode below but having trouble converting it to a macro!

I am caught in an areas where I have learned how to find the next available empty row by going far down my worksheet, counting up until I reach a filled row and then offsetting that value by 1 as seen here below:
NextRow = Sheet1.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
My difficulty lies in assigning the cells in this empty row the data a user can input in my text boxes; let's say there are 4 text boxes which need to be put into the following cells:
Text box 1 (Text value) needs to be assigned next empy cell in column: AText box 2 (Text value) needs to be assigned next empy cell in column: B (1 offset away from A)Text box 3 (Numeric value) needs to be assigned next empy cell in column: F (5 offsets away from A)Text box 4 (Numeric value) needs to be assigned next empy cell in column: H (7 offsets away from A).
How would I go about using my identified "NextRow" and then plug in these text box values into their appropriate cells down that row?

trying to add cells together that contain time (hours and minutes). The cell containing the total formula shows the #VALUE! result when and only when one or more cells being added do not have a value in them.
The times have been entered as actual times of the day, formatted for AM/PM.
A simple adding formula works fine, but all cells must have a value in them to obtain a valid result.
I attach a sample of the sheet.

I have a grade system where I need to obtain an "Average" of grade data within four cells. At time there may onlt be two cells with a value or three. Example: The cell cell cantain a value of 100 points with the totral of 400 point. AS we know the "Average" would be 100 points. But is only two cells cantained 100 point and the other two where empty then the "Average" come back as 50 points. Because I have 4 cells that requires a value input. So my question is how do I create a formula that will give the correct value for the "Average" of data that is placed in the cells. The values are calculated as a total from the grades entered. That total is in F14, F31, F48, F65 - Now if F14 has a value of 100, and F31 has a value of 100 then the "Average" should be 100, but it is not for the is calculating F48, and F65 as 4 values, so the return is 50. The situtation is that I need all the cells for in some cases data will be necessary, but I need the "average" to be calcalated for only the values entered.
Where is the Formula.
=IF(SUM(F14,F31,F48,F65)=0,0,AVERAGE(F14,F31,F48,F65)) - My brain says this is simple but no matter what I do it returns 50.

I have a sheet that I put a blank row before every change in column G,
Dim lr As Long, i As Long
lr = Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = lr To 2 Step -1
If Range("G" & i).Value Range("G" & i - 1).Value Then
Rows(i).EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlShiftDown
End If
Next i
and now I need formulas in columns B and I in those blank rows. I'm happy to roll it in to the above piece of code, or put it in after.
I don't think I can use LastRow to define my range and replace blanks with formula because of the blank rows. I would need more of a "LastRow with only one blank in between populated rows" if such a thing exists.
The formulas will be ="*"&H3&" DWG "&G3 for cell B2 and =I3 for cell I2.

I have tried a number of different ones from my search of this forum but I'm getting an error. here is a sample of my spreadsheet.
I want it to give me the lowest number, I don't want it to look at the 0's or if the cell is blank.
Here is my formula and my error:
=SMALL(N196:N203,COUNTIF($N$196:$N$203,0)+1)
my error is #num!
I've also tried others including using the MIN function but either 0 is entered or the error above.

I think I understand what you were talking about now with the generation of the watchbill using the rand() and sort. You were trying to get me to get rid of the whole system I was using before and use only the rand and sort. I thought you were asking me to incorperate the rand sort thing into the randomization process I already had using offset etc. The whole thing works good now, however, because the column Ive designated for the roster names may or may not always be filled the formula sometimes refers to empty cells in that column thus producing 0s on the watchbill. I was thinking maybe (if its possible) having a formula to identify a 0 and if so skip to the next cell down. The formula would repeat until it found a name without a zero in it.

I’m trying to make my life a bit easier, by adding a few macros and formulas to the spreadsheet (Everything was done completely manually before I got here!!!).
What I would like to do is take two columns, which contain a start and end time for work shifts, and colour them GREEN once I have entered a name in the Worker column (Along side the two with the time), and also to fill a cell with a Yes or a No. I’m aware of auto conditioning, and I’ve tried to have a play to get this to work, but I just can’t work it out.
I have posted a link to an image which shows what I want. I hope I've explained it well enough!

Is there a way to auto-populate all of the empty cells with the word "Need to Review" in a cell range (A1:A250)? Once any of the cells in this range is populated, whatever is inputted should house the cell.

I am creating a fantasy football draft board using excel. To keep it short and sweet, each individual team (one per column) has a $200 budget to draft players. Each team must fill 14 roster positions (one per row), but here's the catch; you must spend at least $1 on all of the 14 players on your roster. So you have a maximum bid amount which is your remaining budget subtracted by $1 for every remaining spot you have left to fill.
I have already created a "remaining budget" field which subtracts each drafted player's inserted dollar amounts from the $200... easy. Beneath this, I'd like to create another cell per team that tells you your "maximum bid," which is essentially 200, -1 for every cell that remains blank. I have played around with the conditional IF formulas but cannot seem to have it account for multiple cells.
As a workaround, I have made columns hidden beneath the board which contain the conditional IF, ISBLANK fields which are -1 if true and 0 if false. Then creating the "remaining budget" field that subtracts these values from 200. This works, but it's not perfect, as when you have multiple players you still need to draft and you've exhausted your budget only saving $1 for each, it overstates your "maximum bid" by $1, or when you have $X left and you need to only fill one more spot, it ill tell you your "maximum bid" is $X-1.

I have a list of assessment scores for students with a matching grade in text form. I want to show the percentage of students that receive "Adv" and "Pro" grades out of the total number of students (cells with data). But I have extra cells in case students are added during the year. I need to have the formula ignore any empty cells and count all of the "Adv" + "Pro" grades divided by number of students with data. I would like to do this by including the extra cells in the formula so I don't need to amend the formula should students be added. This is the formula so far. Maybe there is a totally better way to write this formula.
=SUM(COUNTIF(C7:C60,"*"&{"Pro","Adv"}&"*"))/COUNTA(C7:C60)

I have a table that looks similar to the below. I want to be able to extract the numbers between the brackets and add all up in the last column (as shown in example below).
I have used something like the below however it returns #VALUE in column F because of the empty cells.
(SUMPRODUCT(REPLACE(A1:F5,1,FIND("(",A1:F5),"(")+0))
I need a formula that will be applicable even when there are empty cells and return the results as shown.
A

D
E
F
Worker (3)
Engineer (23)
Manager (1)

I have a spreadsheet that uses IF(C5>J5,(EDATE(C5,12)),(EDATE(J5,12)))__ IF(J9<D9,(D9-$N$1)) where N1 is current date. If C5 and J5 are empty how do I get it to ignore the formula and just leave the other cells blank?

i am having trouble putting together an IF Formula together with and/or. i need to do the following
if cells k8 and l8 and r8 are empty, then no data should show.
if cells k8 and l8 and r8 is zero, then show zero.
otherwise add all three cells.
i thought i should use if(and... that is all 3 cells must be empty or zero.
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(K8),ISBLANK(L8),ISBLANK(R8)), "no data", IF(OR(K8=0, L8=0, R8=0),"ZERO", K8+L8+R8))
i have tried if(and) and if(or) and no matter what i have tried it doesnt work

Hello there,
I am making a spreadsheet that tracks children's progress in school through the year.
I have a vlookup that turns their levels (2c,2b,2a,3c,3b,3a etc) into numbers so that the number of sublevels they have progressed during the year can be reported.
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(E5,$AD$10:$AE$28,2,FALSE)),"0",VLOOKUP(E5,$AD$10:$AE$28,2,FALSE))
However, when children join through the year, they will not have data to go in the 'starting grade' box, so I was wondering if it would be possible to make vlookup see that cell E5 is empty, and so look in cell F5 instead. It might even, perhaps, have to look in cell G5 if they join the class after Christmas.
