#VALUE! Error
in cell E8 I have this formula: =IF(ISBLANK(D8),"",D8*$B$2)
I get the #VALUE! error. Can someone tell me why and how I can correct it. I am just trying to say that if D8 is empty don't show anything, if populated multiply D8 by B2. Thank you for your help -- Diana |

#VALUE! Error
Oh, I forgot to say that D8 does have a formula in it. So that must be why I
get the error--the cell is not blank. Is there anything I can do so it does not show on spreadsheet. -- |

There is probably some text character, like a space in the cell D8

Try this:
=IF(D8="","",D8*$B$2) -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "DJL" wrote in message ...

=IF(OR(ISTEXT(D8),ISBLANK(D8)),"",D8*$B$2) when placed in E8, says...

The OP could also use
=PRODUCT(D8,$B$2) this will return zero if any text value is involved and won't choke on it -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "CLR" wrote in message ... =IF(OR(ISTEXT(D8),ISBLANK(D8)),"",D8*$B$2) when placed in E8, says...

"this will return zero if any text value is involved"
Not really! *Any* number in the range of Product() will be returned, not 0. Can lead to some *possible* miscalculations. -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Peo Sjoblom" wrote in message ...
