Ok firstly thanks for reading this post I really do need some help :)

I have a row of 5 codes for individual marks - P for Pass and F for Fail. In the last column I have the overall result - P if all individual results were P and F if any of the 5 results were an F.

My problem is that if no data has been entered the final result defaults to an F for Fail when in fact I would like it to show blank or space.

I think this problem is something to do with NULL value but I'm not sure what to do to resolve this. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
 
Ian,

You were absolutely correct....spaces do seem to exist in every cell until F or P are entered. For the rows where no results are entered (i.e. all 8 cells contain spaces) then the default is F until I delete one of the cell contents.

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
