Hi, this is probably the most basic formula but I just can't get it to work so I apologize for being slow.

=IF(D3<E3,"LOSE","WIN")

At present it is showing as LOSE as D3 and E3 are blank. I don't want it to show a result until the scores are input to D3 and E3. How can I do this?
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
How about
Excel Formula:
=if(or(d3="",e3=""),"",IF(D3<E3,"LOSE","WIN"))
