Default Using function on column?

It is supposed to be if text is in column C then I need column A to have

same value as E. If it is not text then it should not copy...I must

Hi,

I'm afraid the formula you are using as an example doesn't make

sense
becuase it returns E8 for both tru and false. You could apply a

logical test
to en entire column

=IF(COUNTA(C:C)=0,E8,F8)

But note iv'e made it returns different references for true (E8) and

false
(F8)

I am using this function =IF(ISBLANK($C8),($E8),($E8)) on

individual cells
and it is working fine. My issue is when refreshing the data I

won't know
how many cells will need the function. Can I use a similar

function on an
entire column?
Thanks, Karen


in A1 try =if(istext(c1),e1,"")
