Hi! I'm using OpenOffice.org 1.1.5 (slow PC from 1998, if anyone wonders
why), but that shouldn't have anything to do with my question.

When answering someone elses post quite a while ago, someone gave me a tip
that I have forgotten about now and I can't find that post. I have tried to
search for it, but I can't find anything relevant to write in the search
dialog. Either I get too many hits or nothing at all...

So maybe someone can give me that tip again if I ask nicely...

The problem is when you do something liuke the following example:

A1 contains nothing.
B1=A1

Now B1 shows 0. If A1 is nothing, I want B1 to show nothing...

So I always solve this by this simple formula for B1:
=IF(A1="";"";A1)

Then someone told me that there is a better way to do this, but I can't
remember right now what it was....

I realize that this will also work:

=IF(ISEMPTY(A1);"";A1)

But I am not sure if that was the tip... but maybe it was...

Still, if there is a better way, please let me know!

Regards


Johnny
