ISTEXT
Tests if a cell contains text.
Syntax:
ISTEXT(value)
- Returns TRUE if value is or refers to text, and FALSE otherwise.
Example:
ISTEXT(“dog”)
- returns TRUE.
ISTEXT(C2)
- where cell C2 contains cat returns TRUE.
ISTEXT(C3)
- where cell C3 contains =NA() returns FALSE, because NA() returns an error value, not text.
ISTEXT(C4)
- where C4 is an empty cell returns FALSE (an empty cell contain no text).
