Below is a copy of a spreadsheet I am working on.
I need column E to read zero until a figure is put into the quantity.
The current formula in E is =SUM(G7*SUM(D7/(1-$L$4%))+E7) which when you put the figure in the quantity does calculate correctly, but I just don't want a figure in the final column until requested by the quantity.
Hope that makes sense, probably really simple
Thanks

Thank you
That worked perfectly
Amend Hans' formula to:
=IF(G7="",0,G7*D7/(1-$L$4%)+E7)
Thanks you.
Sorry for being so confusing
so lets rename the columns to
D, E, G, H, I
The reference to column L in the formula relates to a changeable figure
| D | E | G | H | I |

You don't need SUM. The formula can be simplified to
=G7*D7/(1-$L$4%)+E7
But a formula in E7 cannot refer to E7 itself, so I don't understand what you're doing.
