Default Ignoring blanks


How do I instruct a formula to ignore blanks? If a cell is blank, then
ignore, if not, execute the formula. Thanks.

You cannot ignore it per se. You can get the formula to take a certain
action if it is blank, such as put "" in the cell, but it won't leave
whatever was in the cell before you added the formula.
