Team, I am trying to get a "new" formula in cell B3 that if I type a number in cell C3, then the answer in B3 needs to be 0. The current formula in cell B3 is =(A3/5.5)*3.1

Thanks for the help.

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Try this in cell B3:

=IF(ISNUMBER(C3),0,"Placeholder")

=IF(ISNUMBER(C3),0,"Placeholder")

Thanks for the fast response!!!

oops maybe I didn't explained myself clear.. the original formula in B3 must remain in the cell which is =(A3/5.5)*3.1 and it currently shows a number but when I key in a number in C3 then B3 must equal 0.... can this be done? thanks

Just replace the "Placeholder" from Tyija's formula with your original formula.
