Using IF for conditional formatting?

[Barb]

Need help with displaying blank cells when formulas are
inside. The formulas would display a value if the
contents of a source cell is filled in. I'm attempting to
use in the formula cells(like B2):

IF(A2="","",A2*5)

If A2 is null, then display blank in B2, else calculate A2
* 5.

Is this the best approach to keeping formula cells clear
until data is entered?

Thanks!!!!
