Default IF ISBLANK Function

Select the column. Press function key F5.Click 'Special'check 'Blanks' and
hit OK..
This will select all blank cells in the range..Keeping the selection type
'Month Unknow' and hit Ctrl+Enter..

If these cells have formulas then modify the formula to return 'Month blank'
if a month cannot be returned

Hi Jacob,

Just so I am clear...I have cells that have months based on a date but some
of the dates are blank hence no month will show...I want to be able to put
the words Month Unknown into the blank cells so when I chart by month those
blanks will say Month Unknown

Do you mean

=IF(Y39="","Month Unknown","")

'If you have date in Y39
=IF(Y39,TEXT(Y39,"mmmm"),"Month Unknown")

Hi,

It is possible to use If ISBLANK to find a blank cell lest say Y39 and if it
is blank inout the text Month Unknown into the cell?

If so please tell me what is the syntax as I ahve tried and no luck...if not
can you offer an alternative?

Thank you
