You can put in conditions in those two cells by using the "IF" operator, as follows;
IF(ISBLANK(A1),"",A1+5)
IF(ISBLANK(A1),"",A1+15)
The "" expression will show nothing in the two cells if A1 is blank.

So if you have $5,000 credit limit on each card (and no other credit elsewhere), that gives you $15,000 of total credit (debt really). If you then owe $500 on one card and $0 on the other two cards, your debt is 3.33% of your total debt, which is superb.

I don't believe in horoscopes, but most of the men I have dated have been Taurus (5-6 men). None of them lasted very long. My 2 previous long relationships have been with a Virgo and a Pisces and my current boyfriend is a Libra. What do you make of it?
Are you asking why the men you pick are Taurus men or why these Taurus men don't last very long?
If your life is being interfered with or affected by men/relationships in a negative way, I think it would be prudent for you to consider other factors and seek professional help in case you are a pivotal factor in the men you choose.

Has anyone had real, lasting friendships or relationships with people that they first met online?
I think much depends on the type of person you are (how sensitive you are, etc), and what you are really looking for when you're "looking". I have found people to be somewhat different face to face than when online. Also, the experience of being with that person as opposed to typing words in a keyboard is much different aswell.
I thought I would ask as I was curious about how...

If you write a song, can you copyright it? If so, how?
Copyright arises or exists automatically as soon as a song is created. You must remember however, that there are two copyrights at stake here.
1. The copyright of a song.
2. The copyright of the recording of a song.
A songwriter can "assign" copyright of a song to a song publisher (who exploits the song and provides financial support to the songwriter, such as an advance) and...

Why do so many men complain that they don't understand women? Aren't men just as confusing?
All humans start out as female and so it is only later on in the pregancy that the possibility of the baby being a male, through testosterone, is decided. This is why men have nipples and that a penis is simply a more developed and enlarged top section of the clitoris.
Women are more balanced and "full" than men because nature decided, perhaps many hundreds of thousands or millions...

Will a pisces (female) and a virgo (male) work out in a romantic relatioship?
Your star sign is but a part of the equation that make you who you are. There are many other elements that will contribute to how you two people will work out and in what way. You should look at how you are getting along, being friends, etc., before judging each other on star signs alone.
Widen your expectations and use your natural instincts and feelings - we all have them.

If you follow arrogance through the chain of feelings/emotions and what drives it, you end up at fear. In this world, there is only fear and love and everything else that we know about the human condition stems from those two forces.

What would you do if you fell in love with someone, but you were adamant you didn't want a relationship with anyone?
We can't choose who we fall in love with, nor have 100% control by what might flow from love, if it comes to us.
I waited over 40 years and never dreamt or believed I would ever experience love, but it happened and its the most wonderful thing I know.

Answer to:
Why are some people obsessed with perfection?
I believe the cause of this phenomenon lies in not receiving adequate or any love/attention/acceptance/praise as a child and also not being listened to.
This pushes the child to try even harder and harder to receive the attention they crave and this leads to the believe that if they make things perfect, then they will be noticed/loved/heard/accepted.

There is no real "purpose", other than to control women, by idelogically-demented thinking by nasty, evil and despicable lazy "men", who think its their right to carry out this barbaric torture, which even the Romans didn't practice and they were quite a vicious and violent society.

You can't really love each other if you cheat. You may be in lust or infatuation and getting confused.
True love doesn't think to cheat/hide/lie etc.

Why do women marry men who cheated on their previous mates or lie about their current relationship status?
Because, women, the society & family makers, always think that THEY can make the difference and "change someone" or "it will be different with me" etc.

If you want, cut the asparagus in half.

Is there a particular way to properly cut a mango?
Not sure about 'proper' but after carefully cutting the skin off (to minimise fruit wastage), I turn the mango on its side and slice as near to the nut as possible, then I do the same to the other side. I then lay the mango flat and slice off the remaining fruit at an angle to the nut to cut off the remaining juicy bits of fruit.
I then place it in my mouth and eat it.

Even if you have not paid any rent, if your possession are in the property and also if you have any letters/bills with your name & property address on them, this can prove your residence.
In this day and age, no-one can legally behave in the manner that you have been subjected to.

No matter how many times you tell them you love them, or how much/often your show your love, this insecurity will always create an unsettled atmosphere for them until they address the problem, because it is about them and not about you.
