Calculations or Formulas

I'm creating a calculation row for calculating a price.
A1 contains width of product, B1 contains Height of product,
C1 contains Weight ( calculated by A1*B1*8.15) which is kg rate. D1 contains a rate which will be *C1 , E1 will contain the formula I require, but I need to add a process rate of say 200 but I only want this shown once C1 is calculated.
Example: A1*B1*D1+200
So in cell E1 my result will show but only when C1 is calculated.
At the moment 200 shows all the time ?
Please help

RE: Calculations or Formulas

basically you want cell E1 to remain blank until data is entered into A1 and/or B1?

something like this, typed in cell E1 may help:

=if(isblank(A1),"",A1*B1*D1+200)

this will tell the cell to display nothing, unless there is data in cell A1. Once there is data in cell A1, cell E1 will then calculate itself.

Hope this helps.

Excel tip:

Counting Non Number Cells (Text)

If you try to use the COUNT FUNCTION =COUNT(Cell range)with a range of cells with numbers and or containing text fields you wil find that that the text cells will be excluded from the the count. If you want to include them try the the COUNTA FUNCTION =COUNTA(Cell range). This counts both text and number cell values.
