you could either qrap the code around another IF statement saying if cell <> "" or include an and statement in your above code. You dont say where the "blank cells" are so little difficult to be more specific.

wrap your code inside another if statement

Excel Formula:
If(e2="","",addyourcodehere)

The code works. I take it the yellow column is column "F"?
I not in your code you have " ; " (semicolon) where i would normally have " , " (comma) so if thats because of regional programming change the comma in my code to a semicolon

if youre still having issues attach a sample worksheet not an image

I have tested the code I gave you with the sample worksheet you posted and it works fine. I note in the sample workbook you dont have my code in column M (which is the cell you said you wanted blank if blank.) Did you substitute the "addyourcodehere" in my code with your own code??

the code I supplied was
Excel Formula:
If(e2="","",addyourcodehere)

with your formula in it
Excel Formula:
=IF(E2="","",IF($F2>$G2,$M2-$H2+5,IF($F2<G2,"Recess Front","Correct")))
