Formula in cell messing up logical test

Hey,

I've got a spreadsheet where I'm trying to identify where 2 criteria are true and count them. one column is Y N or blank. the other is numerical value, but it's the result of a couple layers of indexing.... so there is a formula living in that column.

here's what I have:

=IF($AG13="Y",+IF(J13>0,1,""),"")

AG13 has this living in it:

=IF(OR($AC13="",$AC13="-"),"",IF(INDEX(TEAM1!AG:AG,$AC13)="","",INDEX(TEAM1!AG:AG,$AC13)))

J13 has this:

=IF(OR($AC13="",$AC13="-"),"",IF(INDEX(TEAM1!K:K,$AC13)="","",INDEX(TEAM1!K:K,$AC13)))

in this case, AG 13 displays a Y, but J13 is blank. I look in the formula bar and see this:

is it reading the indigenous formula as being greater than 0? how would you get past this one?

That would be because a space is less than zero.

=if(or(j13<=0,j13=""),"",1)

Thanks for the rep.
