    Question Avoid repeating inner equation in a logical expression

    Hi there,

    I have a complicated equation which I'd like to avoid duplicating it in my formula. However the only way I have been able to achieve what I need is to write the entire formula like this:

    = If ( someBigEquation=0, "", someBigEquation)

    More specifically, here is my formula:
    =IF(SUMIFS(RESULT[RaceTime],RESULT[Gala],P$12, RESULT[Event],$C13, RESULT[SwimmerName],$D$8)=0,"",
    SUMIFS(RESULT[RaceTime],RESULT[Gala],P$12, RESULT[Event],$C13, RESULT[SwimmerName],$D$8))
    In Excel 2016 I could use the function IFS() however I only have Excel 2013.

    Is there a way to retain the functionality of my formula without having to repeat the someBigEquation?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michelle
