Sometimes you need to check if a cell is blank, generally because you might not want a formula to display a result without input.
In this case we’re using IF with the ISBLANK function:
-
=IF(ISBLANK(D2),»Blank»,»Not Blank»)
Which says IF(D2 is blank, then return «Blank», otherwise return «Not Blank»). You could just as easily use your own formula for the «Not Blank» condition as well. In the next example we’re using «» instead of ISBLANK. The «» essentially means «nothing».
=IF(D3=»»,»Blank»,»Not Blank»)
This formula says IF(D3 is nothing, then return «Blank», otherwise «Not Blank»). Here is an example of a very common method of using «» to prevent a formula from calculating if a dependent cell is blank:
-
=IF(D3=»»,»»,YourFormula())
IF(D3 is nothing, then return nothing, otherwise calculate your formula).

Вы можете использовать следующую формулу в Excel для выполнения какой-либо задачи, если ячейка не пуста:
=IF( A1 <> "" , Value_If_Not_Empty, Value_If_Empty)
Эта конкретная формула проверяет, пуста ли ячейка A1 .
Если он не пустой, то возвращается Value_If_Not_Empty .
Если он пуст, возвращается значение Value_If_Empty .
В следующем примере показано, как использовать эту формулу на практике.
Пример: используйте формулу «Если не пусто» в Excel
Предположим, у нас есть следующий набор данных в Excel, который содержит информацию о различных баскетбольных командах:
Мы можем использовать следующую формулу, чтобы вернуть значение «Команда существует», если ячейка в столбце A не пуста.
В противном случае мы вернем значение «Не существует»:
=IF( A2 <> "" , "Team Exists", "Does Not Exist")
На следующем снимке экрана показано, как использовать эту формулу на практике:
Если имя команды не пусто в столбце А, возвращается «Команда существует».
В противном случае возвращается «Не существует».
Если бы мы хотели, мы могли бы также возвращать числовые значения вместо символьных значений.
Например, мы могли бы использовать следующую формулу, чтобы вернуть значение столбца очков, разделенное на два, если ячейка в столбце A не пуста.
В противном случае мы вернем пустое значение:
=IF( A2 <> "" , B2 / 2 , "" )
На следующем снимке экрана показано, как использовать эту формулу на практике:
Если название команды не пусто в столбце A, то мы возвращаем значение в столбце очков, умноженное на два.
В противном случае мы возвращаем пустое значение.

You can use the following formula in Excel to perform some task if a cell is not empty:
=IF(A1<>"", Value_If_Not_Empty, Value_If_Empty)
This particular formula checks if cell A1 is empty.
If it is not empty, then Value_If_Not_Empty is returned.
If it is empty, then Value_If_Empty is returned.
The following example shows how to use this formula in practice.
Example: Use “If Not Empty” Formula in Excel
Suppose we have the following dataset in Excel that contains information about various basketball teams:
We can use the following formula to return a value of “Team Exists” if the cell in column A is not empty.
Otherwise, we’ll return a value of “Does Not Exist”:
=IF(A2<>"", "Team Exists", "Does Not Exist")
The following screenshot shows how to use this formula in practice:
If the team name is not empty in column A, then “Team Exists” is returned.
Otherwise, “Does Not Exist” is returned.
If we’d like, we could also return numeric values instead of character values.
For example, we could use the following formula to return the value of the points column divided by two if the cell in column A is not empty.
Otherwise, we’ll return an empty value:
=IF(A2<>"", B2/2, "")
The following screenshot shows how to use this formula in practice:
If the team name is not empty in column A, then we return the value in the points column multiplied by two.
Otherwise, we return an empty value.

The ISBLANK function returns TRUE when a cell is empty, and FALSE when a cell is not empty. For example, if A1 contains «apple», ISBLANK(A1) returns FALSE. Use the ISBLANK function to test if a cell is empty or not. ISBLANK function takes one argument, value, which is a cell reference like A1.
The word «blank» is somewhat misleading in Excel, because a cell that contains only space will look blank but not be empty. In general, it is best to think of ISBLANK to mean «is empty» since it will return FALSE when a cell looks blank but is not empty.
Examples
If cell A1 contains nothing at all, the ISBLANK function will return TRUE:
=ISBLANK(A1) // returns TRUE
If cell A1 contains any value, or any formula, the ISBLANK function will return FALSE:
=ISBLANK(A1) // returns false
Is not blank
To test if a cell is not blank, nest ISBLANK inside the NOT function like this:
=NOT(ISBLANK(A1)) // test not blank
The above formula will return TRUE when a cell is not empty, and FALSE when a cell is empty.
Empty string syntax
Many formulas will use an abbreviated syntax to test for empty cells, instead of the ISBLANK function. This syntax uses an empty string («») with Excel’s math operators «=» or «<>». For example, to test if A1 is empty, you can use:
=A1="" // TRUE if A1 is empty
To test if A1 is not empty:
=A1<>"" // TRUE if A1 is not empty
This syntax can be used interchangeably with ISBLANK. For example, inside the IF function:
=IF(ISBLANK(A1),result1,result2) // if A1 is empty
is equivalent to:
=IF(A1="",result1,result2) // if A1 is empty
Likewise, the formula:
=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(A1)),result1,result2)
is the same, as:
=IF(A1<>"",result1,result2)
Both will return result1 when A1 is not empty, and result2 when A1 is empty.
Empty strings
If a cell contains any formula, the ISBLANK function and the alternatives above will return FALSE, even if the formula returns an empty string («»). This can cause problems when the goal is to count or process blank cells that include empty strings.
One workaround is to use the LEN function to test for a length of zero. For example, the formula below will return TRUE if A1 is empty or contains a formula that returns an empty string:
=LEN(A1)=0 // TRUE if empty
So, inside the IF function, you can use LEN like this:
=IF(LEN(A1)=0,result1,result2) // if A1 is empty
You can use this same approach to count cells that are not blank.
How do I express the condition «if value is not empty» in the VBA language? Is it something like this?
"if value is not empty then..."

Use Not IsEmpty()
.
For example:
Sub DoStuffIfNotEmpty()
If Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Value) Then
MsgBox "I'm not empty!"
End If
End Sub

It depends on what you want to test:
- for a string, you can use
If strName = vbNullString
orIF strName = ""
orLen(strName) = 0
(last one being supposedly faster) - for an object, you can use
If myObject is Nothing
- for a recordset field, you could use
If isnull(rs!myField)
- for an Excel cell, you could use
If range("B3") = ""
orIsEmpty(myRange)
Extended discussion available here (for Access, but most of it works for Excel as well).

Try this:
If Len(vValue & vbNullString) > 0 Then
' we have a non-Null and non-empty String value
doSomething()
Else
' We have a Null or empty string value
doSomethingElse()

Why not just use the built-in Format() function?
Dim vTest As Variant
vTest = Empty ' or vTest = null or vTest = ""
If Format(vTest) = vbNullString Then
doSomethingWhenEmpty()
Else
doSomethingElse()
End If
Format() will catch empty variants as well as null ones and transforms them in strings.
I use it for things like null/empty validations and to check if an item has been selected in a combobox.

Alexphi’s suggestion is good. You can also hard code this by first creating a variable as a Variant
and then assigning it to Empty
. Then do an if/then with to possibly fill it. If it gets filled, it’s not empty, if it doesn’t, it remains empty. You check this then with IsEmpty
.
Sub TestforEmpty()
Dim dt As Variant
dt = Empty
Dim today As Date
today = Date
If today = Date Then
dt = today
End If
If IsEmpty(dt) Then
MsgBox "It not is today"
Else
MsgBox "It is today"
End If
End Sub

You can use inputbox
function in a for loop:
Sub fillEmptyCells()
Dim r As Range
Set r = Selection
For i = 1 To r.Rows.Count
For j = 1 To r.Columns.Count
If Cells(i, j).Value = "" Then
Cells(i, j).Select
Cells(i, j).Value = InputBox( _
"set value of cell at column " & Cells(1, j).Value & _

Home / Excel Formulas / IF Cell is Blank (Empty) using IF + ISBLANK
In Excel, if you want to check if a cell is blank or not, you can use a combination formula of IF and ISBLANK. These two formulas work in a way where ISBLANK checks for the cell value and then IF returns a meaningful full message (specified by you) in return.
In the following example, you have a list of numbers where you have a few cells blank.
Formula to Check IF a Cell is Blank or Not (Empty)
- First, in cell B1, enter IF in the cell.
- Now, in the first argument, enter the ISBLANK and refer to cell A1 and enter the closing parentheses.
- Next, in the second argument, use the “Blank” value.
- After that, in the third argument, use “Non-Blank”.
- In the end, close the function, hit enter, and drag the formula up to the last value that you have in the list.
As you can see, we have the value “Blank” for the cell where the cell is empty in column A.
=IF(ISBLANK(A1),"Blank","Non-Blank")
Now let’s understand this formula. In the first part where we have the ISBLANK which checks if the cells are blank or not.
And, after that, if the value returned by the ISBLANK is TRUE, IF will return “Blank”, and if the value returned by the ISBLANK is FALSE IF will return “Non_Blank”.
Alternate Formula
You can also use an alternate formula where you just need to use the IF function. Now in the function, you just need to specify the cell where you want to test the condition and then use an equal operator with the blank value to create a condition to test.
And you just need to specify two values that you want to get the condition TRUE or FALSE.

There are many ways to force excel for calculating a formula only if given cell/s are not blank. In this article, we will explore all the methods of calculating only «if not blank» condition.
So to demonstrate all the cases, I have prepared below data
In row 4, I want the difference of months of years 2109 and 2018. For that, I will subtract 2018’s month’s data from 2019’s month’s data. The condition is, if either cell is blank, there should be no calculation. Let’s explore in how many ways you can force excel, if cell is not blank.
Calculate If Not Blank using IF function with OR Function.
The first function we think of is IF function, when it comes to conditional output. In this example, we will use IF and OR function together.
So if you want to calculate if all cells are non blank then use below formula.
Write this formula in cell B4 and fill right (CTRL+R).
=IF(OR(B3=»»,B2=»»),»»,B2-B3)
How Does It work?
The OR function checks if B3 and B2 are blank or not. If either of the cell is blank, it returns TRUE. Now, for True, IF is printing “” (nothing/blank) and for False, it is printing the calculation.
The same thing can be done using IF with AND function, we just need to switch places of True Output and False Output.
=IF(AND(B3<>»»,B2<>»»),B2-B3,»»)
In this case, if any of the cells is blank, AND function returns false. And then you know how IF treats the false output.
Using the ISBLANK function
In the above formula, we are using cell=”” to check if the cell is blank or not. Well, the same thing can be done using the ISBLANK function.
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(B3),ISBLANK(B2)),””,B2-B3)
It does the same “if not blank then calculate” thing as above. It’s just uses a formula to check if cell is blank or not.
Calculate If Cell is Not Blank Using COUNTBLANK
In above example, we had only two cells to check. But what if we want a long-range to sum, and if the range has any blank cell, it should not perform calculation. In this case we can use COUNTBLANK function.
=IF(COUNTBLANK(B2:H2),»»,SUM(B2:H2))
Here, count blank returns the count blank cells in range(B2:H2). In excel, any value grater then 0 is treated as TRUE. So, if ISBLANK function finds a any blank cell, it returns a positive value. IF gets its check value as TRUE. According to the above formula, if prints nothing, if there is at least one blank cell in the range. Otherwise, the SUM function is executed.
Using the COUNTA function
If you know, how many nonblank cells there should be to perform an operation, then COUNTA function can also be used.
For example, in range B2:H2, I want to do SUM if none of the cells are blank.
So there is 7 cell in B2:H2. To do calculation only if no cells are blank, I will write below formula.
=IF(COUNTA(B3:H3)=7,SUM(B3:H3),»»)
As we know, COUNTA function returns a number of nonblank cells in the given range. Here we check the non-blank cell are 7. If they are no blank cells, the calculation takes place otherwise not.
This function works with all kinds of values. But if you want to do operation only if the cells have numeric values only, then use COUNT Function instead.
So, as you can see that there are many ways to achieve this. There’s never only one path. Choose the path that fits for you. If you have any queries regarding this article, feel free to ask in the comments section below.

How to check if a cell is empty or is not empty in Excel; this tutorial shows you a couple different ways to do this.
Sections:
Check if a Cell is Empty or Not — Method 1
Check if a Cell is Empty or Not — Method 2
Notes
Check if a Cell is Empty or Not — Method 1
Use the ISBLANK() function.
This will return TRUE if the cell is empty or FALSE if the cell is not empty.
Here, cell A1 is being checked, which is empty.
When the cell is not empty, it looks like this:
FALSE is output because cell B1 is not empty.
Reverse the True/False Output
Some formulas need to have TRUE or FALSE reversed in order to work correctly; to do this, use the NOT() function.
Result:
Whereas ISBLANK() output a TRUE for cell A1, the NOT() function reversed that and changed it to FALSE.
The same works for changing FALSE to TRUE.
Check if a Cell is Empty or Not — Method 2
You can also use an IF statement to check if a cell is empty.
=IF(A1="","Empty","Not Empty")
Result:
The function checks if this part is true: A1=»» which checks if A1 is equal to nothing.
When there is something in the cell, it works like this:
Cell B1 is not empty so we get a Not Empty result.
In this example I set the IF statement to output «Empty» or «Not Empty» but you can change it to whatever you like.
Reverse the Check
The example above checked if the cell was empty, but you can also check if the cell is not empty.
There are a few different ways to do this, but I will show you a simple and easy method here.
=IF(A1<>"","Not Empty","Empty")
Notice the check this time is A1<>»» and that says «is cell A1 not equal to nothing.» It sounds confusing but just remember that <> is basically the reverse of =.
I also had to switch the «Empty» and «Not Empty» in order to get the correct result since we are now checking if the cell is not empty.
Result:
As you can see, it outputs the same result as the previous example, just like it should.
Using <> instead of = merely reverses it, making a TRUE become a FALSE and a FALSE become a TRUE, which is why «Empty» and «Not Empty» had to be reversed in order to still output the correct result.
Notes
It may seem useless to return TRUE or FALSE like in the first method, but remember that many functions in Excel, including IF(), AND(), and OR() all rely on results that are either TRUE or FALSE.
Checking for blanks and returning TRUE or FALSE is a simple concept but it can get a bit confusing in Excel, especially when you have complex formulas that rely on the result of the formulas in this tutorial. Save this tutorial and work with the attached sample file and you will have it down in no time.

EXCEL FORMULA 1. If a cell is not blank using the IF function
EXCEL
Hard coded formula
Cell reference formula
GENERIC FORMULA =IF(cell_ref<>»», value_if_true, value_if_false) ARGUMENTS GENERIC FORMULA =IF(cell_ref<>»», value_if_true, value_if_false) ARGUMENTS EXPLANATION This formula uses the IF function with a test criteria of two double quotation marks («»), without any value inserted between them and ‘does not equal to’ sign (<>) in front of them, to assess if a cell is not empty and return a specific value. The expression <>»» means «not empty». If a cell is not blank the formula will return a value that has been assigned as the true value, alternatively if a cell is blank the formula will return a value assigned as the false value. With this formula you can enter the values, that will be returned if the cell is empty or not, directly into the formula or reference them to specific cells that capture these values. Click on either the Hard Coded or Cell Reference button to view the formula that has the return values directly entered into the formula or referenced to specific cells that capture these values, respectively. In this example the formula tests if a specific cell is not blank. If the cell is not blank the formula will return a value of «Yes» (hard coded example) or value in cell C5 (cell reference example). If the cell is empty the formula will return a value of «No» (hard coded example) or value in cell C6 (cell reference example). If you are using the formula with values entered directly in the formula and want to return a numerical value, instead of a text value, you do not need to apply the double quotation marks around the values that are to be returned e.g. (=IF(C5<>»»,1,0)). |
EXCEL FORMULA 2. If a cell is not blank using the IF, NOT and ISBLANK functions
EXCEL
Hard coded formula
Cell reference formula
GENERIC FORMULA =IF(NOT(ISBLANK(cell_ref)), value_if_true, value_if_false) ARGUMENTS GENERIC FORMULA =IF(NOT(ISBLANK(cell_ref)), value_if_true, value_if_false) ARGUMENTS EXPLANATION This formula uses a combination of the IF, NOT and ISBLANK functions to assess if a cell is not blank and return a specific value. Unlike the first formula, which uses the double quotation marks («») to test if the selected cell is not blank, this formula uses the NOT and ISBLANK functions. If the cell is not blank the ISBLANK function will return FALSE, alternatively it will return TRUE. The NOT function will then return the opposite to what the ISBLANK function has returned. Therefore, if the cell is not blank the combination of the NOT and ISBLANK function will return a TRUE value. The formula will then return a value that has been assigned as the true value, alternatively if the cell is blank the formula will return a value assigned as the false value. With this formula you can enter the values, that will be returned if the cell is empty or not, directly into the formula or reference them to specific cells that capture these values. Click on either the Hard Coded or Cell Reference button to view the formula that has the return values directly entered into the formula or referenced to specific cells that capture these values, respectively. In this example the formula tests if a specific cell is not blank. If the cell is not blank the formula will return a value of «Yes» (hard coded example) or value in cell C5 (cell reference example). If the cell is empty the formula will return a value of «No» (hard coded example) or value in cell C6 (cell reference example). If you are using the formula with values entered directly in the formula and want to return a numerical value, instead of a text value, you do not need to apply the double quotation marks around the values that are to be returned e.g. (=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(C5)),1,0)). |

True and False Results: In this example if a cell is not blank the VBA code will return a value stored in cell C5. If a cell is blank the VBA code will return a value stored in cell C6. Both of these values can be changed to whatever value you desire by either referencing to a different cell that captures the value that you want to return or change the values in those cells.
NOTES
Note 1: If the cell that is being tested is returning a value of («») this VBA code will identify the cell as blank.
