    Need help with formula to execute multiple functions

    Hey everybody,

    I need help with a formula. I'm trying to write a formula that has 3 functions. Here is my example, I got Cell B2 that is based off the value of cell A2, I need a formula that if A2 contains any text then cell B2 will return the text "N/A", and if cell A2 contains any number then cell B2 will return a formula, however (here is my issue) if cell A2 is blank then i would like cell B2 to also remain blank. This is the formula i came up with that returns:
    =IF(ISNUMBER(A2),(100-(A2*100))/100, if(ISTEXT(A2),"N/A"), if(ISBLANK(A2),""))

    Any help is most appreciated

    Thanks.

    =if(A2="","",if(istext(A2),""N/A",(100-(A2*100))/100))

    No just wantedly written it in that way. Because there may be chances where the cell is getting formatted as Text and entering a number value will be considered as text or the data might be imported which sometimes results text values Or even sometimes some persons have the habit of typing the number preceding with single quote.

    So just want to ensure whether it is really a number or text.
