Eliminate the red box created by an =IF statement formula.

**90Shilling** · 11-12-2013, 08:03 PM

I have a =IF statement that I am using and the false portion is turning the cell red. I am hoping there is a way to not make this happen.

Cell F21 =IF($G$3=1,$E$3,"")
Cell F22 =IF($G$3=2,$E$3,"")

SO when G3=1 Cell F22 turns red and when G3=2 Cell F21 turns red.

Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like you have some Conditional Formatting set up. Maybe check and clear it.
