Force a formula to not calculate, or result of calculation populate, until field has a value

asked on December 10, 2024

Please see the screenshot below.

B and D populate with the factors listed in the formulas before anything is entered into A and C. As a result, E will give the totals of those values as well. If something is entered into A but not C, E still sums the factors in the formula of D to the result of B. This would be expected behavior.

I have tried only showing B and D if A or C have a value over $1.00 entered, that works for "showing" but does not change the behavior of the formulas.

How can I get B and D to calculate (or populate the result of the calculation) only if something, or something over $1.00, is entered in A or C?

Have you tried IF functions in the calculation?

For Example,

=IF(INDEX(Table.Column,ROW()) > 1, PRODUCT(...), 0)

I should have thought of that as I am using IF statements in other areas. It should work. Thanks, Jason!
