Paul B,

I tried =IF(N17>0,"LBS","")
It does display LBS still if N17 is blank

Any other ideas? I appreciate your time

What is N17: A formula that either produces a number or a blank? If so,

in O17 enter:

=IF(LEN(N17),"LBS","")

you tried =IF(N17>0,"LBS","")
try the opposite

=IF(N17<=0,"","LBS")

I had a similar problem and it worked for me

Hi Hawk:
I think you have posted the same question, several times before -- wherein PaulB , smozgur, and myself posted response to your question. If you post the same question several times, you will get fragmented responses

Have you tried my solution that I gave to your question

=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(N17),N17>0),"LBS","")

Please post back if it works for you ... otherwise explain a little further and let us take it from there!

Try also the shorter formula built with LEN.

Hi Aladin:
Your formula is really short and sweet, but it takes care of the situation when there is no entry in N17, however, Hawk's original question is

Quote:

N17 BEING THE PRODUCT WEIGHT. IF N17(WHICH CONTAINS A FORMULA OF WEIGHT CALCULATION FOR PRODUCT SHIPPED)DISPLAY BLANK I WOULD LIKE

I interpret his requirement as that he wants the entry LBS to show up in O17 only if there is a numeric entry >0 in cell N17!

Regards!

If so,

=IF(N7,"LBS","")

would suffice.
