    How to set to leave blank value when there is no Data from Formula

    I have two columns of dollar amounts I want to add, E & F,and subtract the third, G, and the results in column H. So I entered the formula =Sum(E2+F2-G2) down column H and that works but it automatically enters $0.00 down the column. So I entered the following formula down column H and that got rid of the $0.00 unless there is a value in E, F or G but if the results just happens to total $0.00 then column H remains blank, I don't want that. =IF(E2+F2-G2<>0,(E2+F2-G2),""). How can I tweak this formula to leave column H only blank when there isn't anything entered.

    Assuming the case is that sometimes you have E,F, and G with no data, this formula should help: =IF(COUNTA(E2:G2)>0;(E2+F2-G2);" ").

    If tried to enter the formula in column H and I get an error message that it contains a typo, won't except it. So I tried =IF(COUNT(E2:G2)>0,E2+F2-G2,""). Try using commas instead of the semicolons: =IF(COUNTA(E2:G2)>0,E2+F2-G2,"") I removed the ()'s from the E2+F2-G2 portion and I removed the space from the final string.
