I have several excel spreadsheets(2007) where i use the statement =IF(B7=",",(B7-B6)) which is saying if B7 is empty then display 0 otherwise B7-B6 is displayed. This is working correctly for me in those spreadsheets. I have now created another spreadsheet and i am trying to use the same formula but the answer returns False.
I guess there must be some setting or something that is different to the other spreadsheets i have created. Can anyone tell me why its returning False instead of the number i want to see.

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Thanks for that. It seems i need to get my glasses changed as that is how the original formula was wrote. I have never really understood how the formula works, it was something i copied from someone else's spreadsheet years ago.
