I am using a formula that refers to a different sheet, and getting"0" as answer if the reference cell is empty, can someone please help so the cell is empty eg below, if the cell in 'Up to Date'!G2, is empty.

Many thanks in advance

=IF('Up to Date'!$H$2<>"";'Up to Date'!G2;"")
 

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Sorry yes but this formula is on Sheet Yellow and in Cell G4

if the cell in 'Up to Date'!G2, is empty.

=IF('Up to Date'!$H$2<>"";'Up to Date'!G2;"")
OK then, based on your comment in post #1 , you have your formula the wrong way round?

=IF('Up to Date'!G2<>"";'Up to Date'!$H$2;"")

Although my preference is to test for "nothing" this way...
=IF('Up to Date'!G2="";"";'Up to Date'!$H$2)
Same thing as yours though

if yellow.sum(
B1,C1,D1,E1,F1,G1)="" then yellow.G1 = ""
