=if(a1="","it's blank","it's not blank")
or =if(a1<"","it's not blank","it's blank") (Excellent name!) David P. wrote: How do you do that in an if statement? If cell is not blank. Thank you. -- David P. -- Dave Peterson |

Cell is not blank
Hi,
Another way to test is =IF(ISBLANK(A1),true,false) another way =IF(COUNTBLANK(A1),"blank","notblank") technically you could also use =IF(COUNTA(A1),"notblank","blank") -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "David P." wrote: How do you do that in an if statement?

Cell is not blank
If the cell is *empty* (which can be considered to be different than blank),
then all 3 of those of those formulas return what you'd expect. However, if the cell contains a formula blank ("") then the results are different in 2 out of 3 of the formulas. You can reduce this: =IF(ISBLANK(A1),TRUE,FALSE) To: =ISBLANK(A1) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Shane Devenshire" wrote in message ...
