MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / December 2005#VALUE! Error
in cell E8 I have this formula: =IF(ISBLANK(D8),"",D8*$B$2) I get the #VALUE! error. Can someone tell me why and how I can correct it. I am just trying to say that if D8 is empty don't show anything, if populated multiply D8 by B2. Thank you for your help  SignatureDiana Oh, I forgot to say that D8 does have a formula in it. So that must be why I get the error--the cell is not blank. Is there anything I can do so it does not show on spreadsheet. Try this: =IF(D8="","",D8*$B$2) SignatureHTH, RD ===================================================== Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ===================================================== Oh, I forgot to say that D8 does have a formula in it. So that must be why I get the error--the cell is not blank. Is there anything I can do so it does not show on spreadsheet. There is probably some text character, like a space in the cell D8 =IF(OR(ISTEXT(D8),ISBLANK(D8)),"",D8*$B$2) Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 > in cell E8 I have this formula: =IF(ISBLANK(D8),"",D8*$B$2) > I get the #VALUE! error.

Now can you tell me in plain english exactly what the formula says? =IF(OR(ISTEXT(D8),ISBLANK(D8)),"",D8*$B$2) when placed in E8, says... If EITHER D8 is text, OR D8 is blank, THEN leave E8 blank, OTHERWISE, return the result of D8 times B2 Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 > Thank you so much for the quick reply. That worked beautifully! > Now can you tell me in plain english exactly what the formula says? The OP could also use =PRODUCT(D8,$B$2) this will return zero if any text value is involved and won't choke on it SignatureRegards, Peo Sjoblom > =IF(OR(ISTEXT(D8),ISBLANK(D8)),"",D8*$B$2) when placed in E8, says... > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thank you so much for the quick reply.

Can lead to some *possible* miscalculations.
