if statement where cell is not empty
when writing if statements, if I want a certain action when the cell is empty
i write - if(A1="","do this","do something else"). But if I want it to do something when there is anything in the cell in question how do I write the statement? ie, if(A1="anything","do this","do something else". Hope I am making sense. Matt |

if statement where cell is not empty
=If(A1<"","do this","do that")
< means "Is not"/"Not equal to" so <"" means "is not empty" BUT equally =if(A1="","do this","do something else") would also work as the "do something else" is actioned if A1 is not empty.

if statement where cell is not empty
Mattguella,
This works for a cell that is empty: Cell A1 - blank, cell A2 - =IF(A1="", "got it!", "Aint got it!") This works for a cell that is not empty: Cell A2 - blank, cell B2 - =IF(A2="", "Aint got it!","Got it!") Good luck, "mattguerilla" wrote: when writing if statements, if I want a certain action when the cell is empty i write - if(A1="","do this","do something else"). But if I want it to do something when there is anything in the cell in question how do I write the statement? ie, if(A1="anything","do this","do something else". Hope I am making sense. Matt |
