If Function
Is it possible to use an IF function to do the following
If cell C2 "is blank" then return the value in C3, if not then do nothing. I guess my question is can "is blank" be used in an IF function. |

If Function
Just bear in mind that "" (the empty string) which appears as a blank, is
not the same as a blank meaning nothing at all in the cell. Functions such as COUNTA and COUNTBLANK will count the empty string, but not a truly empty cell, a blank.

Correction: COUNTA counts cells with something in them and empty strings
(=""), COUNTBLANK counts truly empty cells and empty strings (=""). As usual, I don't see my errors until after I have posted. Tyro "Tyro" wrote in message ...
