Default How do you make cell 2 return data if cell 1 contains text?


If cell A1 contains a contact's name I want cell A2 to automatically
return a response of "Lead" and if cell A1 is blank I want cell A2 to
remain blank

I assume I need a formula in A2 to this effect but am not sure how to
make it recoginze it correctly.

=IF(A1=???,"Lead")

The question marks in red is what i don't know what to say.

=IF(A1<"","LEAD","")

=IF(A10,"LEAD","")

=IF(ISTEXT(A1),"LEAD","")
