VALUE appearing (referencing blank cell)

[Mark D]

Hi Guys, sorry for again posting on here but this reoprt will be the death of
me.

I have 2 cells that have the following formlas

IN C45 =IF(ISBLANK(AG149),"",AG149)

IN D45 =IF(B45=1,'Base Data'!$H$52,IF(B45=2,'Base
Data'!$I$52,IF(B45=3,'Base Data'!$J$52,IF(B45=4,'Base
Data'!$K$52,IF(B45=5,'Base Data'!$L$52,IF(B45="pd",'Base Data'!$M$52,""))))))

Both C45 and D45 have no data in and are therefore blank - GREAT


Then in cell AF45 I have the following formula which is linking to both C45
& D45 above (the AF cells referenced in the below formula both have values in
FYI)

=IF(ISBLANK($C45),"",IF((MIN((AF$4-$C45)+1,AF$3)/AF$3*$D45/12)<=0,"",MIN((AF$4-$C45)+1,AF$3)/AF$3*$D45/12))

If there is data in C45 & D45 then the formula works fine. However when both
C45 & D45 are blank I am getting ''VALUE'' returned.

I have to have them blank to enable my sum to work.

Thanks again for anyones help. I really appreciate it.

You're testing for C45 = blank but not D45.

So, does that mean if C45 is not blank but D45 is you still want to
calculate the formula?

Or, do you *not* want to do anything unless both C45 and D45 contain
numbers?

Ah yes sorry I should be testing both C45 & D45 to be blank.

Do you have any suggestions on how to add that into the forumla?

Thanks for the reply

If you don't want to do anything unless both cells contain numbers start the
formula with:

=IF(COUNT($C45,$D45)<2,"",IF((MIN(............
