Default Either showing : empty or blank

My nice working formula is :
=text(A1,"mmmm")
It gives me the name of the month(in B) depending on the date in A
When A is blank then it gives 'January' in B.
WONDERING if the result in B can be either nothing(blank) or the word "empty"
when A is blank or have no values.
If somebody knows both ways, I'll be gratefull to learn it. Thanks

Hi,

With your formula

=IF(A1,text(A1,"mmmm"),"")

This assumes A1 is blank if not use

=IF(ISNUMBER(A1),text(A1,"mmmm"),"")

If this helps, please click the Yes button.
