Conditional Formula.

If I got a formula and I dont want blank to appear but zero when does it not apply for my logical test or my value conditional, what shall I write on the formula?

RE: Conditional Formula.

Hello Estrellita

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

I have attached an example of an Excel spreadsheet to my reply here, that I think demonstrates what you are referring to.

If you have a look in the column where you can see 0.00 showing (column D), you will see formulas in these cells which makes the cell display zero if there is nothing entered into columns B or C.

Basically the formula is saying if what is in the cell in column B is empty (=0) or what is in the cell in column C is empty (=0), then display 0 in column D, otherwise multiply what is in column B by what is in column C.

I hope this helps.

Excel tip:

COUNT function vs COUNTA function

The COUNTA function works in the same way as the COUNT function, except that it will count cells that contain text (labels) and also cells that contain numbers (values). The COUNT function will only count cells that contain numbers. Blank cells are not counted by either the COUNT or the COUNTA function.
