What is the forumla that allows tells you if data is in text or number

Forumla Needed: Text or Number Format
If I understood correctly - it might be:

Either that, or your previous suggestion of ISNUMBER or ISTEXT, will tell
you whether the cell CONTENT is number or text, but if the OP wants to know whether the cell FORMAT is number or text, perhaps =CELL("format",A4)? Remember that a cell may have text as a content, but be formatted as number, or vice versa. -- David Biddulph "????? (????) ?????" <micky-a*at*tapuz.co.il wrote in message ...

Well..., I formatted cell A1 as TEXT and typed: Bla bla.
The formula: =CELL("format",A1) - returns: G I don't remember that there is an 'Info_type' checking for Text Format. I might be mistaken...

Formatting as number, =CELL("format",A1) doesn't return G, but, for example,
F2 if 2 decimal places (even if the content is text). -- David Biddulph "????? (????) ?????" <micky-a*at*tapuz.co.il wrote in message ... Well..., I formatted cell A1 as TEXT and typed: Bla bla.
