Default #VALUE error

This formula returns a #VALUE! error when empty.

Can this be fixed?

Thank you in advance.


=IF(SUM(F17+H17)0,SUM(F17+H17),"")

Try:

=if(sum(F17,H17)0, sum(F17,H17), "")

Try it like this:

=IF(SUM(F17,H17)0,SUM(F17,H17),"")

You probably have a text entry in either or both cells. Are there formulas
in those cells that return a blank?
