Try this...

Assumes no cells contain formulas that return formula blanks (which are TEXT
strings):

=LOOKUP("zzzzzz",A1:A4)

I have a single column range (A1:A4). One and only one of the cells
contains
a text entry (cell A3 in this example). I want to enter a formula into A5
that will return this text entry.

Thanks,
Art
