I am trying to calculate an average of a few cells and when I have 0, this messes up the calculation. So i need to return cells with 0 as blank. I am working on google sheets btw. Thank you in advance and I appreciate any help. Cheers!

      You might have to play with this video, also watch videos on IF/AND functions, and values to display, I hate when this happens cause you might be writing your function 98% of the way there but if you don't write it 100% you keep getting errors 🥲, that's how I found this video.

    I have a data table that I'm preparing to produce a Dashboard from and done want empty cells that may cause an error. I have two date cells"From and To". I have two other columns "yes and No". if there is a tick in the "No"column I want the "from and to"cells to say "N/A", otherwise I just enter the dates in the "From and To?"columns.
    T/o further explain the yes and no columns represent worked?- yes, worked?-No, if no then no need to enter any dates for that time. if yes I then enter the relevant dates "from" and "To". I Hope I explained it logically enough.

    I was so happy to find this, but I'm having problems (the story of my life). I have 2 date columns. The 2nd has the following formula =DATE(YEAR(E5) + 2, MONTH(E5), DAY(E5)) . At the moment, where there is no date in column 1, column 2 returns 31/12/1901. I've tried the methods in this video with no success. Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve this? My reports just look horrendous with the 1901 date all over it 😕Finger's crossed! Thanks in advance.

    How can we do this exact operation, but with an average command? I have a weekly periodic table that I have values entered in. Some days there are no values, and some weeks have no values at all. I want to run an average command for each week, but that ignores the blank days and leaves the week blank if there are no entries. I don't want the #div/0 error because I have an average for the year table that it interferes with.

      @@ChesterTugwell Hi Chester, thank you for this video. Just a quick question, we have a template in our office that we use.
      I wanted to apply this formula on a worksheet which gives us the sum of other indivudual cells (which are sometimes blank, in which case we have to manually delete the respective sum cells.) Those sum cells normally show 0 if no other value is there. I tried to delete the existing sum formula and entered the "iferror" one. But it is still returning 0 value where it should be blank.
      Can you please help me out with this? What can I do to correct it?

    • @robfairbrother3014
      @robfairbrother3014 3 года назад

      I had the same question and was able to figure it out through trial and error. As an example, if you wanted the formula to apply if 2 columns are both blank (c2 and d2 for example) then use the ‘if’ formula =if(logical test, {value if true},[value if false) this way: =if(isblank(c2)*(isblank(d2),””,{insert your formula here if either c2 or d2 has something in it}). The logical test here would be checking to see if both c2 and d2 are blank. If it’s true, then the double quotes would leave the cell blank as shown in this video. If one or both of those cells have a value in them, then enter in the formula you wish it to perform.

    Because I need it for calculating between two dates' different where any date cell can be blank.
    This code works, if only one cell of the date is blank, then the result cell is blank. For another blank cell, it shows a big number.
    →=iferror(DATEDIF(D9,E9,"D"),"")
    →=IF(ISBLANK(E12),"",DATEDIF(D12,E12,"D"))
    I need, if any cell of the date is blank, then the result cell will be blank.
