Simple multiplying formula question

I am looking for a simple formula to multiply [Quantity] times [Cost] only if there is data in the quantity cell. Currently the [total] column fills with $0.00 if there is no data in these columns. The "HELP" page is not clear to me on how to do the ISN'T Blank formula.

Thank you

Try,

=IF(Quantity@row = "", "", Quantity@row * Cost@row)

Hi Al,

Try this.

=IF(Quantity@row = ""; ""; Quantity@row * Cost@row)

The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.

=IF(Quantity@row = "", "", Quantity@row * Cost@row)

Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

Did it work?

Have a fantastic week!

Alternately, you could use ISBLANK.

=IF(ISBLANK(Quantity@row), "", Quantity@row * Cost@row)

Or even

=IF(ISNUMBER(Quantity@row), Quantity@row * Cost@row)

You're welcome.

Here what I entered on this one for row 10. I got an error. Perhaps I misunderstood your answer.

=IF(ISNUMBER([Quantity]10), [Quantity]10 * [Material Cost Each]10

What error did you get? Other than the last parenthesis missing (which Smartsheet should have autopopulated anyway), everything looks fine.

I got the #UNPARSEABLE error. I did add the last parenthesis because it did not do it automatically.

I will also try some of the other ideas presented.

=IF(ISNUMBER([Quantity]10), [Quantity]10 * [Material Cost Each]10) for line 10

Thanks

I must not be doing something right here.

=IF(([Quantity]12) = ""; ""; ([Quantity]12 * [Material Cost Each]12))

Thanks,

=IF(Quantity@row = "", "", Quantity@row * Cost@row)

=IF(ISNUMBER(Quantity10), Quantity10 * [Material Cost Each]10)

This SHOULD work...

Ok.

Try and copy my formula and then update the column names.

Did it work?

Hi-

I tried copying the formula =IF(Qty@row = "", "", Qty@row * Unit Cost@row) and I am still getting an #Unparseable error. Can someone please assist. I am trying to get the Total amount to fill in with the above formula.

I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise.

Showing "stacked" data / Statuses of items by swimlane
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes.

This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
Automated email with number of pending records
Hello, I use Smartsheet in such way that people are asked to provide data on many records and then that data needs to be approved by one other person (always the same person).
