Default If, Then sttement

I'm trying to get a result if something is not blank:
=IF(D328_is_not_blank,"add","")
The column will be text so if it is blank, I don't want anything returned as
a result.

Perhaps this...

=if(trim(d328) = "", "", "add")

TRIM is an Excel function, and is explained in Excel help (as are all other
Excel functions except one).

Ok, you've sparked my curiosity. Which function is not explained in help?
