Questions about IF Function

My workbook contains two worksheets. One of the sheets is
used to query a database and return select columns of
data. The other worksheet is used to organize some of this
information into a report format. I have the following
function in my report worksheet:

=IF(QUERY!B11=" "," ",QUERY!B11)

I have copied this function down to line 100, as this
would be the maximum number of rows returned. My problem
occurs when I try to edit my query. If the new query
returns only 50 rows of data, the following will occur:

-The formula will work fine for rows 11-49.
-I will get the #REF! error on lines 50-99.
-Line 100 will contain the correct data that should reside
on line 50.

I think this may be the weirdest thing that I have seen
Excel do yet, and I was wondering how to correct it so
that the formula will work correctly regardless of how
many rows are returned by the query. Also, WHAT IN THE
HECK would be the logic behind this? Thank you so much for
any suggestions.

Try,

=IF(ISERROR(Query!B11),"",if(Query!B11="","",Query !B11))
