Default Conditional cell


I have a dropdown menu in cell A1 that is either Yes or No.
I want cell C1 to display "Data Required" if A1 = Yes and is left blank
if A1 = No.
How do I program cell C1??

=IF(A1="Yes","Data Required","")

This assumes that A1 will always be "Yes" , "No" or blank.

Ignore my previous comment, what I meant to say was it assumes that you
want to return blank if any value other than "Yes" is in A1.
