Using this Libre Calc statement: =if(B4=50,100)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on modifying a Libre Calc IF statement to avoid displaying "FALSE" when a condition is not met. The original formula =IF(B4=50,100) displays "FALSE" if B4 is not 50, which the user wants to change to an empty cell. The solution provided is to use =IF(B4=50,100,""), where the empty quotes ensure that nothing is displayed instead of "FALSE." The user initially struggled with this but confirmed that the revised formula works as intended. This highlights the importance of using empty quotes in Libre Calc for desired output.

Homework Statement
I am need to use libre calc if function to perform calculations .
Relevant Equations
NA
Consider this Libre Calc if statement:
=if(B4=50,100) if B4 is 50 then 100 is displayed but if B4 is not 50 then FALSE is displayed.
I do not want FALSE displayed. I want the cell to be empty.

How can I do this?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this.

HI,

Can't find a reference manual. Like Excel (?:) ), doesn't calc have something like IF(B4=50,100," ") ?

[edit] Ah, there's a guide, which says (p 255):

=IF(C31>140, “HIGH”, “OK”)

Logical functions can also be performed as​
represented by the IF statement which results in a​
conditional response based upon the data in the​
identified cell. In this example, if the contents of C31​
is greater than 140, then HIGH is displayed,​
otherwise OK is displayed.​

If it's like excel, you probably don't want the space between the quotation marks

Thanks =if(B4=50,100,"") works.
I think I tried that before but it works now. The "" is the trick.
Thanks all.

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
Essentially I just have this problem that I'm stuck on, on a sheet about complex numbers: Show that, for ##|r|<1,## $$1+r\cos(x)+r^2\cos(2x)+r^3\cos(3x)...=\frac{1-r\cos(x)}{1-2r\cos(x)+r^2}$$ My first thought was to express it as a geometric series, where the real part of the sum of the series would be the series you see above: $$1+re^{ix}+r^2e^{2ix}+r^3e^{3ix}...$$ The sum of this series is just: $$\frac{(re^{ix})^n-1}{re^{ix} - 1}$$ I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to...
