Hi guys

I'm fixing a number of excel sheets here atm. Unfortunately the original designer isn't here anymore. I keep stumbling across, what I think might be code, from previous versions of excel.

Eg.
=CONCATENATE(MID(C4,FIND(" ",C4)+1,1),"_",$N$8,$N$9,IF(G4 = "","",$N$10),IF(G4 = "","","_"),E4,IF(E4 = "","","_"),G4)

See this "",""

What exactly does that mean? I can't search for it on google properly. Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
This
IF(G4 = "","",$N$10)
Is saying if G4 is blank, then leave cell blank, otherwise insert the value from N10

I wouldn't call it an "older way", you'll see plenty of examples of that type of formula on here
