Is it possible to use the "IsBlank()" function on a function's result?


I have created a function, where I would like to have a blank result in some cases, in order to use the IsBlank() function on it afterwards, but this seems not possible, as you can see from this example (the top row contains the used formulae):

As you see, the column "E" formula sometimes results in an empty string, but in Excel, an empty string is not blank (=IsBlank("") seems to yield FALSE).

Is there an Excel constant of function I can use as a "blank" result?


Solution

  • IsBlank tests if a cell is Empty. An empty string is != an empty cell. A regular formula cannot return Empty. So the answer to your Q is No.
