hi

I understand you want blank if the the other cell is blank, right? What is the formula currently you are using?
User 05/03/2018 - 01:20
a simple "= (cell name)"
Excelchat Expert 05/03/2018 - 01:21
You can wrap the current formula inside a IF formula to make it blank. Let me show you how.

=IF(A1="","",A1) please look at column B. I have used this formula there.
