Nested IF function to ignore cells with no data
Hi,
I have a simple nested IF function that compares numbers in two cells then returns a word depending on whether the number in one cell is greater than, equal to, or less than the number in the other cell: =IF(F4G4,"Yes",IF(F4=G4,"Equal",IF(F4G4,"No"))) Either (or both) of the compared cells might contain the number 0 (zero), which is fine, I still want the IF function to compare and return the appropriate word. However, the compared cells sometimes have no data in them at all (are blank), in which case I need the IF function to also remain blank. Unfortunately the unsophisticated IF function I'm using still compares these blank cells to give me the word "Equal". How can I get the IF function to return a blank if the cells being compared are also blank? Cheers, Steve Sharpe. |

See pecoflyer's answer to your previous post.
