Hi Jaret,

I understand that you're having trouble with the ISBLANK function not working when the cell it's referencing appears to be blank due to a function result. Here are a few things you can try:

1. Use the IF function: Instead of using the ISBLANK function, you can use the IF function to check if the cell is blank or not. For example, you can use the following formula:
   Formula:

   =IF(A1="", "Blank", "Not Blank") 

   . This formula will return "Blank" if cell A1 is blank, and "Not Blank" if it's not.
   
2. Use the TRIM function: Sometimes, a cell may appear to be blank, but it actually contains spaces. In this case, the ISBLANK function will not work. You can use the TRIM function to remove any leading or trailing spaces from the cell. For example, you can use the following formula:
   Formula:

   =IF(TRIM(A1)="", "Blank", "Not Blank") 

   . This formula will remove any spaces from cell A1 and then check if it's blank or not.
   
3. Check the function result: If the cell appears to be blank due to a function result, you can check the result of the function to see if it's returning a blank value. For example, if you're using the SUM function to add up a range of cells, you can check if the result is zero or not. If it's zero, then the cell is blank.

I hope these suggestions help you resolve your issue. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
