Microsoft Excel’s

function enables you to check whether a cell is blank or not.

Here’s how to do it.

Select a cell.

Excel’s

function lets you verify if the specified cell is blank or not.

If the cell is blank, the function retrieves a

value.

If the cell is not blank, you get a

value.

Enter the ISBLANK function.

So if you want to check whether or not cell A1 is blank, you would insertA1in place ofvalue.

In the selected cell, punch in the following function and press Enter.

In this function, replaceC2with the cell that you want to check.

The result of the ISBLANK function.

Now you know what cell is and isn’t blank in your spreadsheet.

First, open your spreadsheet with Excel.

Choose a cell.

Then, tap the cell where you want to display your function’s result.

In your selected cell, jot down the following function and press Enter.

And you now have your chosen text displayed for your blank and non-blank cells.
