Hello,

Simple formula of =J3-SUM(L3:X3) BUT if J3 is empty then I want the formula to run as =C3-SUM(L3:X3)

What is the proper formula to get the calculation to utilize J3 if there is a value and to use C3 if there is not ?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,

Try with this formula :
=IF(J3="",C3-SUM(L3:X3),J3-SUM(L3:X3))

Best regards
