Returning "blank" when first cell is blank

L

lisab

I'm setting up a second worksheet where in column A, I just want the
appropriate information in column A on the previous worksheet to populate.
(Information that is being entered will be names of individuals.) I am
currently using the following formula:

='Performance Analysis'!A5

However, I would like to add that if the cell is blank, no information is
entered on the 2nd worksheet. How do I add that additional stipulation? Any
information is appreciated.

Thanks for the correction.

Are you sure you meant that, Dave?

I wonder whether instead of
=if('Performance Analysis'!A5,"",'Performance Analysis'!A5)
you might have intended
=if('Performance Analysis'!A5="","",'Performance Analysis'!A5) ?

You don't need the =TRUE

=if(isblank('Performance Analysis'!A5),"",'Performance Analysis'!A5)
