I'm creating a calculation row for calculating a price.
A1 contains width of product, B1 contains Height of product,
C1 contains Weight ( calculated by A1*B1*8.15) which is kg rate. D1 contains a rate which will be *C1 , E1 will contain the formula I require, but I need to add a process rate of say 200 but I only want this shown once C1 is calculated.
Example: A1*B1*D1+200
So in cell E1 my result will show but only when C1 is calculated.
At the moment 200 shows all the time ?
Please help

basically you want cell E1 to remain blank until data is entered into A1 and/or B1?

something like this, typed in cell E1 may help:

=if(isblank(A1),"",A1*B1*D1+200)

this will tell the cell to display nothing, unless there is data in cell A1. Once there is data in cell A1, cell E1 will then calculate itself.

Hope this helps.

Excel tip:

Entering text in Multiple Worksheets

If you have a number of worksheets in a workbook that require the same information (data or tables) on each worksheet, this can be done as follows:

Hold down the Ctrl key and click one or more of the additional worksheet tabs (i.e. Sheet2, Sheet3, etc).

In your mainsheet (Sheet1) enter the required data or design a table.

When done 'Click' on the other sheet tabs and you will see that the information entered in Sheet1 is on all the other selected worksheets.

NB Do not forget to deselect the worksheets - otherwise you may add data to the main worksheet and all the selected worksheets will also have that data!
