Keeping cell blank if now values is added in IF formula - excel

I am trying set IF condition, the conditions are working fine, only issue I am facing is that whenever the cell is left empty the resulting cell is still showing "Pass", but I want to keep it blank if nothing is entered in the cell
=IF(B22<=2000,"Pass",IF(B22>2000,"Fail",""))

Try
=IF(B22="","",if(B22<=2000,"Pass","Fail"))

A nested ISBLANK function works well for this:
=IF(ISBLANK(B22),"",IF(B22<=2000,"Pass","Fail"))

Alternative solution:
=IF(B22,IF(B22<=2000,"Pass","Fail"),"")
Note: the value in cell B22 needs to be either a number or blank (cannot be text).

If the value (even if it is showing blank) in Cell B22 is returned by a formula, then you probably want to use the following formula instead:
=IF(LEN(B22)=0,"",IF(B22>2000,"Fail","Pass"))

You can do with the following 2 ways
=IF(ISBLANK(B22),"",IF(B22<2000,"Pass","Fail")) - Isblank used to check whether cell is empty or not.
=IF(B22="","",IF(B22<2000,"Pass","Fail")) - here nested If conditions used to check cell values

How do I add a condition to my Excel formula?

I would like Excel to execute the following formula ONLY if B2 has a value in it. How do I write that into this formula?
=IF( ISNUMBER( MATCH( MATCH(A2,AllResources4[Title],0), SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(AllResources4[[#Headers],[Title]], ROW(AllResources4[Title]) - ROW(AllResources4[[#Headers],[Title]]),))*(ROW(AllResources4[Title]) - ROW(AllResources4[[#Headers],[Title]])),0)), VLOOKUP(A2,AllResources4[#All],8,0),"")
I want Excel to look for A2 in the "AllResources4" table or return the result only if its corresponding B2 cell has a value. Same with A3, A4, etc.
Using ISBLANK is the way to go. However, I sometimes get sketched out since you can't see how ISBLANK is actually working. That being said, it sometimes it worth inserting a column next to your data dedicated to the ISBLANK function. Something like:
=IF(ISBLANK(cell),0,1)
Then, you can check to make sure that the function works and use sort/filter to get the cells that you need to use the function on. Of course, if you want the function applied to all the data but only to work on the non-blank cells, you could add a clause to the IF for whether the column value we jsut made is one or zero.
NOTE* if you are working with numbers, the count function might also be helpful
This worked! =IF(B2=0,"",Formula)
=IF(ISBLANK(B2),Formula,"")
The ISBLANK function will check if a cell is blank (has no value), combined with a if statement will run your formula only when B2 has something in it. The above formula will output nothing if B2 is blank.

Combining IFERROR and LEFT Formulas

I have a formula that looks like this
=IFERROR(B83,"OPEN")
So if a certain cell has an error it changes it to OPEN, but if it doesn't then it returns the values within that cell.
I am trying to make the cell also short the text that is being returned to 7 characters.
I made this formula:
IFERROR(B83,"OPEN"),AND(LEFT(B83,7))
However it does not work and instead returns an "NA".
Appreciate any help.
Try
IFERROR(LEFT(B83,7),"OPEN")
You need to put your desired result as the first argument of IFERROR.

Check if cell is empty or not

I'm new to excel , I need to check if cell is empty put zero and if not don't change value
I tried to use =IF(" ",0,**)
But instead of ** I don't know How can i make it don't change the value?
try this
=IF(ISBLANK(A1),0,A1)
the problem with your formula is that there is no cell reference. Here we are checking the cell A1 if it is empty or not.
Update
Since it seems that the cell are not actually blank, try to use this formulae
=IF(TRIM(A1)="",0,A1)
You can actually join the two formula
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(A1),TRIM(A1)=""),0,A1)
Try this please, =IF(A1>0,A1,0) Please note: this will work on a different column, not the same.

Display the value from the formula ONLY if another cell has the value that I want

I've devised a formula that I want my cells to have, but I only want the value to show up if ANOTHER cell is populated with the value that I want.
My current formula is below:
=COUNTIFS($R$3:R21, "Brain")
However, this formula doesn't check whether or not the other cell has the value that I want to check for.
I put together a formula that I thought would check for whether or not the cell is populated:
=COUNTIFS($R$3:R21, "Brain", R21, "Brain")
Unfortunately, this formula doesn't work (it returns #VALUE!). I think it fails because R21 is already included in the COUNTIFS.
I also tried this similar formula, which also failed to work:
=COUNTIFS($R$3:R21, "Brain", R21:R21, "Brain")
I looked online and I found this possible solution:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Brain",R21)),"COUNTIFS($R$3:R21, 'Brain')","")
Unfortunately, this formula displays the text of the formula I want, and not the actual value of the formula.
Does anyone know how I could display the value from the formula ONLY if the cell I'm checking has the value that I want? Thanks.
Try
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Brain",R21)),COUNTIFS($R$3:R21, 'Brain'),"")

How can I use a formula with an IF function?

I'm wanting to check for blank cells, and when the cell is not blank, output a formula. However, I am getting errors and I believe you're not allowed to use formulas within an IF function, are you guys able to help me out?
=IF(A1="","",=lastModified(A1))
If the cell is not empty, this formula will return the date the cell was last modified. I do not want the date updated if the cell is blank.
Thanks for the help.
If you want to call the formula, just remove the equals sign. It will call when the FALSE condition triggers in your IF statement.
=IF(A1="","",lastModified(A1))
