Extracting data from rows where one field is blank

I'm trying to write a formula or use filtering to get a list of uncleared
checks in a check register. The data looks like this:
21 A B C
22 Date Amount Cleared
23 xxxxx 1.98 X
24 xxxxx 2.55
25 xxxxx 3.00 X

I need to extract the information for check 124, which has not cleared.
I've tried using the IF and ISBLANK functions in an advanced filter dialgue,
but can't seem to make it work. In the criteria cell, my formula is
=IF(ISBLANK(C23),"",B23).
Thanks
 
If you're trying to extract column B if C is blank (as you stated), your
formula is backwards:
=IF(ISBLANK(C23),"",B23) should be =IF(ISBLANK(C23),B23,"").
 
Hi BillBurton57

You can use AutoFilter on column C
Choose Blanks in the dropdown
 
That will only display the blanks, but I need to EXTRACT the rows with blanks
so I can add them up. Summing the amount column keeps the total even if I
only display the blank cells.
 
If you use data|filter|autofilter, then you can change your =sum(...) formula to
=subtotal(9,...)

=subtotal(...)
will ignore those rows hidden by autofilter.
