I am trying to sort out a spreadsheet with existing formulas. In the formula =IF(B6="","",B6-B5), what does the "" mean?

RE: formulas
Hi Dee, thanks for your query. It might help to express the formula more literally:
IF B6 is equal to the value "" then put "" in this cell, otherwise put the value of B6-B5 into this cell
Basically, the formula is testing for null values. If it finds one, it doesn't do anything, but if there is a value in B6 it will subtract from it that value in B5.
Hope this helps,
Anthony
