I want to write an If statement where if the answer is false, the exact value
from another cell will go into the cell with the formula.

For example.

In H6 i would write

=If(E6=not given, "", "E6")

where if E6 = not given nothing would appear in H6, but if it did NOT = not
given then the value in E6 would go into H6

Try the following:

=IF(ISBLANK(E6),"",E6)

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

E6 will actually say "Not Given" or have a phone number in it. It will not
be blank if nothing is given.

Is there a way to do this?

=IF(ISBLANK(E6),"Not Given",E6)

If you have another column where a phone number might be you could
write:

=IF(ISBLANK(E6),IF(ISBLANK(F6),"Not Given",F6),E6)

Where F6 represents the cell where you might or might not have a phone
number.

But E6 won't be blank. it will either have a phone number in it or say "not
given"
