Currently I have an Excel formula which reads:
=IF(ISBLANK(F24),"",F24*$C24)
However, if F24 is blank, this formula does not return an empty cell. It returns an empty string, which causes a #VALUE error if there is any arithmetic formula operating on the column.
The arithmetic will work if the formula is changed to:
=IF(ISBLANK(F24),,F24*$C24)
But then the cell is shown containing a zero, which makes a mess of the spreadsheet since it contains sparse data.
Can an IF statement specify that a cell should be considered zero-empty on a given condition?
