Leave a formula blank until values are entered into first portion of formula.

I found a few posts that are related to this but I couldn't seem to find the answer I was looking for. 

Here is my formula quite simple : =Report!L3+B14

However L3 on the report sheet doesn't exist yet but B14 does. Is there a way to keep the formula blank until L3 is filled? ie: Making it a requirement for the formula to give a value. I feel like I did this before with SUMIF but maybe not.

I am using this for budget graphs basically I wan't it automated so the graph won't show that value until the formula is completed. 

Summary: Formula has two values summed, first value isn't entered yet. Leave value blank until formula is completed.

I can provide an example if needed.

Thanks in advance!
