Return 2nd Non-blank Value In A List (with Example)

Sep 11, 2008

I finished mty project which shows how to return the value of the first non-blank cell in an array. That's great, but I now need to find the next value, and so on. In the example, I'd need to get "BBB" to come out of the formula.

My list has other blanks inserted throughout the array, so it would more closely resemble:

A1
AAA

BBB

CCC

Any ideas?

I am creating a tracking spreadsheet where i can toggle between months (attached). It returns data properly when I select January or February from the yellow highlighted dropdown list. However, when i choose March, it returns 1/0/1900 because no data has been entered for March (table array) on the AAAG tab. How do I write the formula to return a blank cell on the summary sheet when no information has been entered into the table array yet?

Return Blank If Concatenating With Blank Cell?

Apr 3, 2014

in one column of my spreadsheet and it is returning the correct concatenation for the appropriate lines. However, I wish to have the column's cells return an answer of blank (" ") if B15, B16... etc is blank. In other words, at the moment, a correct answer would read something like '1810sd0000' C10 and B15 used, while an incorrect answer would still display '1810', but I want it to be a blank cell.

List - Filling In Each Blank Cells With Value Contained In First Non-blank Cell Above It

Feb 27, 2013

I have a list that looks something like this:

Column B

Row 4 Item 1
Row 5 Item 2
Row 6
Row 7
Row 8 Item 3
Row 9
Row 10 Item 4
Row 11
Row 12
Row 13
Row 14 Item 5

The range of cells in column B containing the items has a name "ColStreams"

I need to go through the list, filling in each blank cells with the value contained in the first non-blank cell above it - so, in this case, rows 6 and 7 would contain "Item 2", row 9 would contain "Item 3", rows 11-13 would contain "Item 4" and so on.

Pivot Table Chaos: Blank Cells Return 0, Empty Cells Return Nothing

Jun 25, 2009

Hi, I desperately need help with a pivot-table and can't find anyone else who's ever had this problem...I have a very large healthcare data table which for simplicity I will describe as follows. In essence the first two columns respectively are (A) location and (B) month. Let's say the third column (C) is the number of cases of the disease kidpox treated in each health centre during that month. The fourth column (D) is the total number of cases of everything treated during that month in each clinic. The fifth column (E) is the proportion of cases of this disease over all consultations for each health centre and month, and the formula in E2 is .....

If Two Cells Are Blank Return Blank - If One Has Date Subtract Today Date

Apr 24, 2013

Using one spreadsheet with three date columns and two columns counting days.

If there is a value in Resolution date, then Column N is blank
If there is no value in Submit date and Resolution date, then Column N is blank
If there is no value in Resolution date, and there is a value in Submit date, subtract Submit date from todays date to show how many days it has been pending approval

Created on = J4
Submitted on = K4
Resolution Date = L4
Days to Approve = M4 I've got that formula =IF(L4="","",L4-K4)
Days Pending Approval= N4 (cell with formula)

If Resoultion Date L4 has a value, return blank
If Submit on K4 and Resoultion date L4 are blank, return blank
If Resolution date L4 is blank, and Submit on K4 has a value, subtract Todays date from Submit on K4 to show Days Pending Approval

Cell J4______Cell K4______Cell L4__________Cell M4__________Cell N4
Created on___Submit On___Resolution Date___Days to Approve___Days Pending Approval
4/5/13_______blank______Blank____________Blank___________Blank
4/5/13_______4/5/13_____4/7/13___________2_______________Blank

Return Blank Instead Of $0.00 In Sumifs

Feb 26, 2010

Shortened for example;
I have created a drop down list with gas, groceries and travel as the categories.
column a is labeled expenses and formatted as currency.
column b is labeled category with the drop down list in each cell.

column d contains each item, gas, groceries and travel on separate rows.
column e will contain the total for each item in column d using "sumifs formula".

If there are no travel expenses, instead of returning $0.00 I want the cell to be blank.
I know how to do this in a simple sum function but sumifs are sumthin else.
I have tried using <> for not equal to and everything else I can think of and I usually get a VALUE error.
how do I get it to be blank instead of $0.00???

Return A Blank Cell

Jul 23, 2008

I am using Excel 2000

I am using the "IF" formula to pull in data into a forms section. I then save the forms section as a CSV file.

When the IF statement returns the "false" value, it is looking to pull over a "blank" cell. When that happems, a "0" pulls over. I tried to put a "" in the blank cell, but while the output of the formulaa looks "Blank" when I convert the tab to CSV, the output is a quote mark ".
I need the formula to display a real BLANK cell or something that acts like a blank cell

Return First Non-blank Cell In Row

Oct 5, 2007

I'm trying to do several things. I have 6 columns (A:F) with column headers and 12 rows of data and not every cell has a number as its content. Some cells are blank. I have attached my file.

Using Row 2 as my example:
1.) I want to return the contents of the FIRST non-blank cell in the range (A2:F2) in cell I2.
2.) If I2 is not blank, then I want to return the column header (text) which corresponds to the resulting number content of cell I2.
3.) I want to return the contents of NEXT non-blank cell in A2:F2 in cell K2.
4.) If K2 is not blank, then return the column header (text) which corresponds to the resulting number of K2.

I will then repeat the 3rd & 4th scenarios in columns L thru S.

What I’m trying to do is place all non-blank data up in the first-foremost columns (H thru S) as I possibly can so I can use the data from these new columns (H thru S) as my merge fields in a Word document.

If B2 Equals To 1 And C2 Is Blank - Return Word Fix?

Jun 23, 2014

Column B has values 1 2 or 3

I don't care about 2 or 3

If Cell B2=1 and cell C2 is blank, return the word "Fix"
If C2 has a value, leave blank
If B2= 2 or 3, leave blank

Then, as I "fix" these guys, it involvse inserting or deleting cells. which seems to screw up the formula

Return ALL Instances Of Non-blank Cells

Mar 21, 2013

I have a spreadsheet where cells L4 W4 have headers (no spaces in this range), e.g. Cust1, Cust2, Cust3 etc... etc...
Column C contains product names ....

Each product will have a value under each heading (but not all), e.g. Product A = Cust1:10 Cust2(blank) Cust3:4 Cust4(blank) etc... etc...

What I need is a formula that looks along the row for each product and returns the header name if there is a value. Therefore, in the example above the formula result would be Cust1Cust3 ....

Cell Reference Return Blank Or Zero?

Jun 15, 2013

In sheet2 I've many numeric value.

In sheet1, A1: =Sheet2!B12 which returns 0 (zero) though B12 of sheet2 is the result of =sum(B1:B11) i.e 660. But if in sheet1 A1=Sheet2!D12 or any other cell in sheet2 instead of B12, A1 gives correct result. That means cell A1 itself is not a problem. I checked format of B12 which is number format.

Vlookup To Return Blank Cell Instead Of #N/A

Aug 15, 2009

is there anyway to have a vlookup formula display a blank cell instead of #N/A if the value it was looking for is not found. For example the first spreadsheet contains the persons name say Bob, the 2nd spreadsheet that the vlookup formula is searching does not contain the name Bob right now excel shows #N/A but what I want it to show is a blank cell. I've tried conditional formating to just white out the text if #N/A appears but can't seem to get that to work.

Check For Return Of 0, Then Display Blank

Aug 27, 2009

I have a vlookup formula I would like to add another If statement to.

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($O2,Table!$A$2:$I$72,9,0))=TRUE,"Not In Table",VLOOKUP($O2,Table!$A$2:$I$72,9,0))

This works fine, but if the field that it is returning (9 in the case above) is blank, I get a zero in the destination cell.

Can I add another check in this formula to see if the destination cell is zero, but display a blank?

Formula To Return Zero If Cell Is Blank?

May 8, 2012

I have a column of imported data like this, with scattered blank cells:

Rd Frnt200634350464300399636350

I am doing a multiple regression where the above are independent variables. I usually have hundreds of variables in a column like this. Because each cell must have a value in it (the regression won't accept blanks), rather than manually fill the blank cells with a 0, I set up an adjacent column to convert the blanks to a 0 and regress off that column. But every formula I try still produces a blank in that adjacent column. I have tried things like: =IF(A1="",0,A1) but they do not work. I always get a blank in the adjacent column when the original cell is blank. Can't get a 0 in there.
