In an IF statement, Excel sees blank cells as 0 (zero)...but it will NOT see
cells with a space in them as zero.

The formulas that are linked to another workbook won't update til you open
the workbook and say Yes to Update the Links.

Subject: [mso] Two questions about Excel


Folks-

 I need to do some comparisons in Excel. Basically if this cell = this value
then I want this output. I need to write this in a function that can be used
in other spreadsheets. I have written the function and it works but here is
my question. How does Excel treat a blank or empty cell? is it's value '0'
or "" or null? 

 Also when I am working with this and I modify the function, is there a way
to recalculate the spreadsheet? After I change the function the values are
not updated.

-Anthony
