<prompt> Human: Hey all. I am working on a budgeting spreadsheet using google spreadsheets. This is what I am trying to do. I have a column for Budget a column for Actual and a column for Variance. I dont want any info to show in the variance column until I add data into the actual column. How do I do this? So basically I just want the variance field left empty until I give it input...  <response>: I would think using an if statement along with something like one of the IS statements would do the tricksomething like this: IFISBLANKB2, , A2-B2
