How do I prepare a cell with a formula, but keep it blank until the
information is added to activate the equation?
 
One way to make it appear blank ..

Instead of in say, B1: =A1*5
Put it as: =IF(A1="","",A1*5)

The " =IF(A1="","", ... " construct will provide the desired "blank" look
in B1 until a number is input in A1
 
Thank you very much Max!
