Subject: [libreoffice-users] Basic Calc Question

I'm a novice at spreadsheets, and google hasn't turned up an answer.
Probably because I haven't worded the question properly. I am trying to
build a general ledger. I have my running balance in the F column and
transactions in the E column. I am trying to construct a conditional
statement that takes the running balance in F4 and adds it to the -/+
transaction in E5 and put the new balance in F5. But when the E5 is $0.00,
I want F5 to remain $0.00 as well until a new transaction is entered.

Barry,

Try one of these formulas. The first does what you said you want. The second does what I think you 
want.

=IF(E5=0,0,F4+E5)

=IF(E5="","",F4+E5)
