Referencing source or chain of cells?
Example: Cell is blank if previous cell is blank.
1st table: You always reference the source
| ="" | ||
|---|---|---|
| =IF(A1 = "", "", ...) | =IF(A1 = "", "", ...) | =IF(A1 = "", "", ...) |
2nd table: You reference the previous cell
| ="" | ||
|---|---|---|
| =IF(A1 = "", "", ...) | =IF(A2 = "", "", ...) | =IF(A3 = "", "", ...) |
Both do the same thing, but is there a format in coding or EXCEL that is better than the other for a chain?
1st table: Only 1 cell will break.
2nd table: If 1 break, everything after will break.
