Иногда требуется проверить, пуста ли ячейка. Обычно это делается, чтобы формула не выводила результат при отсутствии входного значения.
В данном случае мы используем ЕСЛИ вместе с функцией ЕПУСТО:
-
=ЕСЛИ(ЕПУСТО(D2);»Пустая»;»Не пустая»)
Эта формула означает: ЕСЛИ(ячейка D2 пуста, вернуть текст «Пустая», в противном случае вернуть текст «Не пустая»). Вы также можете легко использовать собственную формулу для состояния «Не пустая». В следующем примере вместо функции ЕПУСТО используются знаки «». «» — фактически означает «ничего».
=ЕСЛИ(D3=»»;»Пустая»;»Не пустая»)
Эта формула означает: ЕСЛИ(в ячейке D3 ничего нет, вернуть текст «Пустая», в противном случае вернуть текст «Не пустая»). Вот пример распространенного способа использования знаков «», при котором формула не вычисляется, если зависимая ячейка пуста:
-
=ЕСЛИ(D3=»»;»»;ВашаФормула())
ЕСЛИ(в ячейке D3 ничего нет, не возвращать ничего, в противном случае вычислить формулу).

Excel has a number of formulas that help you use your data in useful ways. For example, you can get an output based on whether or not a cell meets certain specifications. Right now, we’ll focus on a function called “if cell contains, then”. Let’s look at an example.
Jump To Specific Section:
- Explanation: If Cell Contains
- If cell contains any value, then return a value
- If cell contains text/number, then return a value
- If cell contains specific text, then return a value
- If cell contains specific text, then return a value (case-sensitive)
- If cell does not contain specific text, then return a value
- If cell contains one of many text strings, then return a value
- If cell contains several of many text strings, then return a value
Excel Formula: If cell contains
Generic formula
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("abc",A1)),A1,"")
Summary
To test for cells that contain certain text, you can use a formula that uses the IF function together with the SEARCH and ISNUMBER functions. In the example shown, the formula in C5 is:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("abc",B5)),B5,"")
If you want to check whether or not the A1 cell contains the text “Example”, you can run a formula that will output “Yes” or “No” in the B1 cell. There are a number of different ways you can put these formulas to use. At the time of writing, Excel is able to return the following variations:
- If cell contains any value
- If cell contains text
- If cell contains number
- If cell contains specific text
- If cell contains certain text string
- If cell contains one of many text strings
- If cell contains several strings
Using these scenarios, you’re able to check if a cell contains text, value, and more.
Explanation: If Cell Contains
One limitation of the IF function is that it does not support Excel wildcards like «?» and «*». This simply means you can’t use IF by itself to test for text that may appear anywhere in a cell.
One solution is a formula that uses the IF function together with the SEARCH and ISNUMBER functions. For example, if you have a list of email addresses, and want to extract those that contain «ABC», the formula to use is this:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("abc",B5)),B5,""). Assuming cells run to B5
If «abc» is found anywhere in a cell B5, IF will return that value. If not, IF will return an empty string («»). This formula’s logical test is this bit:
ISNUMBER(SEARCH("abc",B5))

Using “if cell contains” formulas in Excel
The guides below were written using the latest Microsoft Excel 2019 for Windows 10. Some steps may vary if you’re using a different version or platform. Contact our experts if you need any further assistance.
1. If cell contains any value, then return a value
This scenario allows you to return values based on whether or not a cell contains any value at all. For example, we’ll be checking whether or not the A1 cell is blank or not, and then return a value depending on the result.
- Select the output cell, and use the following formula: =IF(cell<>»», value_to_return, «»).
- For our example, the cell we want to check is A2, and the return value will be No. In this scenario, you’d change the formula to =IF(A2<>»», «No», «»).
- Since the A2 cell isn’t blank, the formula will return “No” in the output cell. If the cell you’re checking is blank, the output cell will also remain blank.
2. If cell contains text/number, then return a value
With the formula below, you can return a specific value if the target cell contains any text or number. The formula will ignore the opposite data types.
Check for text
- To check if a cell contains text, select the output cell, and use the following formula: =IF(ISTEXT(cell), value_to_return, «»).
- For our example, the cell we want to check is A2, and the return value will be Yes. In this scenario, you’d change the formula to =IF(ISTEXT(A2), «Yes», «»).
- Because the A2 cell does contain text and not a number or date, the formula will return “Yes” into the output cell.
Check for a number or date
- To check if a cell contains a number or date, select the output cell, and use the following formula: =IF(ISNUMBER(cell), value_to_return, «»).
- For our example, the cell we want to check is D2, and the return value will be Yes. In this scenario, you’d change the formula to =IF(ISNUMBER(D2), «Yes», «»).
- Because the D2 cell does contain a number and not text, the formula will return “Yes” into the output cell.
3. If cell contains specific text, then return a value
To find a cell that contains specific text, use the formula below.
- Select the output cell, and use the following formula: =IF(cell=»text», value_to_return, «»).
- For our example, the cell we want to check is A2, the text we’re looking for is “example”, and the return value will be Yes. In this scenario, you’d change the formula to =IF(A2=»example», «Yes», «»).
- Because the A2 cell does consist of the text “example”, the formula will return “Yes” into the output cell.
4. If cell contains specific text, then return a value (case-sensitive)
To find a cell that contains specific text, use the formula below. This version is case-sensitive, meaning that only cells with an exact match will return the specified value.
- Select the output cell, and use the following formula: =IF(EXACT(cell,»case_sensitive_text»), «value_to_return», «»).
- For our example, the cell we want to check is A2, the text we’re looking for is “EXAMPLE”, and the return value will be Yes. In this scenario, you’d change the formula to =IF(EXACT(A2,»EXAMPLE»), «Yes», «»).
- Because the A2 cell does consist of the text “EXAMPLE” with the matching case, the formula will return “Yes” into the output cell.
5. If cell does not contain specific text, then return a value
The opposite version of the previous section. If you want to find cells that don’t contain a specific text, use this formula.
- Select the output cell, and use the following formula: =IF(cell=»text», «», «value_to_return»).
- For our example, the cell we want to check is A2, the text we’re looking for is “example”, and the return value will be No. In this scenario, you’d change the formula to =IF(A2=»example», «», «No»).
- Because the A2 cell does consist of the text “example”, the formula will return a blank cell. On the other hand, other cells return “No” into the output cell.
6. If cell contains one of many text strings, then return a value
This formula should be used if you’re looking to identify cells that contain at least one of many words you’re searching for.
- Select the output cell, and use the following formula: =IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(«string1», cell)), ISNUMBER(SEARCH(«string2», cell))), value_to_return, «»).
- For our example, the cell we want to check is A2. We’re looking for either “tshirt” or “hoodie”, and the return value will be Valid. In this scenario, you’d change the formula to =IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(«tshirt»,A2)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH(«hoodie»,A2))),»Valid «,»»).
- Because the A2 cell does contain one of the text values we searched for, the formula will return “Valid” into the output cell.
To extend the formula to more search terms, simply modify it by adding more strings using ISNUMBER(SEARCH(«string», cell)).
7. If cell contains several of many text strings, then return a value
This formula should be used if you’re looking to identify cells that contain several of the many words you’re searching for. For example, if you’re searching for two terms, the cell needs to contain both of them in order to be validated.
- Select the output cell, and use the following formula: =IF(AND(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(«string1»,cell)), ISNUMBER(SEARCH(«string2″,cell))), value_to_return,»»).
- For our example, the cell we want to check is A2. We’re looking for “hoodie” and “black”, and the return value will be Valid. In this scenario, you’d change the formula to =IF(AND(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(«hoodie»,A2)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH(«black»,A2))),»Valid «,»»).
- Because the A2 cell does contain both of the text values we searched for, the formula will return “Valid” to the output cell.

Re: If a Cell Does Not Contain «text» Return a Value
Hello,
Assume the text is in A1, in B1 enter,
=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(«abc»,A1)),»Happy 4th of July»,»»)
Or,
=IF(COUNTIF(A1,»*abc*»),»»,»Happy 4th of July»)
Regards,
Haseeb Avarakkan

Re: If a Cell Does Not Contain «text» Return a Value
Administrative Note:
Welcome to the forum.
We are happy to help, however whilst you feel your request is similar to this thread, experience has shown that things soon get confusing when answers refer to particular cells/ranges/sheets which are unique to your post and not relevant to the original. Please start a new thread — See Forum rule #4
If you are not familiar with how to start a new thread see the FAQ: How to start a new thread
Purpose
Test for a non-text value
Return value
A logical value (TRUE or FALSE)
Usage notes
The ISNONTEXT function returns TRUE when a cell contains any value except text. This includes numbers, dates, times, errors, and formulas that return non-text results. ISNONTEXT also returns TRUE when a cell is empty.
The ISNONTEXT function takes one argument, value, which can be a cell reference, a formula, or a hardcoded value. Typically, value is entered as a cell reference like A1. When value is not text, the ISNONTEXT function will return TRUE. If value is text, ISNONTEXT will return FALSE.
Examples
The ISNONTEXT function returns TRUE for numbers and FALSE for text:
=ISNONTEXT(100) // returns TRUE
=ISNONTEXT("apple") // returns FALSE
If cell A1 contains the number 100, ISNONTEXT returns TRUE:
=ISNONTEXT(A1) // returns TRUE
If cell A1 is empty, ISNONTEXT returns TRUE:
=ISNONTEXT(A1) // returns TRUE
If a cell contains a formula, ISNONTEXT checks the result of the formula:
=ISNONTEXT(2+2) // returns TRUE
=ISNONTEXT(10 &" apples") // returns FALSE
=ISNONTEXT(A1&B1) // returns FALSE
Note: the ampersand (&) is the concatenation operator in Excel. When values are concatenated, the result is text.
Count text non values
To count cells in a range that do not contain text with the ISNONTEXT function, you can use the SUMPRODUCT function like this:
=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNONTEXT(range))
The double negative coerces the TRUE and FALSE results from ISNONTEXT into 1s and 0s and SUMPRODUCT sums the result. You can also use the COUNTIF function to count cells that do not contain text, as explained here.
Notes
- When value is a number, ISNONTEXT returns TRUE.
- When value is any error, ISNONTEXT returns TRUE.
- When value is an empty cell, ISNONTEXT returns TRUE.
