Yes but... I forgot to mention a key step I do. After running this IF
formula I always copy and paste special the cells as values. So the
formulas no longer exist. The "" is turned into nothingness that is
not, truly, nothingness. The Find technique is great if you want to
find and replace something within a given cell, but I want to find and
merely TAG something (in an adjacent cell; hence using the formula)
