Google Sheets Formula Guide

The formula IF(ISTEXT) in Google Sheets is used to check if a cell contains text.

Here's how to use it:

  1. Start by typing =IF(ISTEXT( in a cell where you want the result to appear.
  2. Select the cell you want to check for text.
  3. Close the formula with a comma and then enter the value you want to display if the cell contains text.
  4. Close the formula with a comma and then enter the value you want to display if the cell does not contain text.
  5. Close the formula with a closing parenthesis and press Enter.

For example, if you want to check if cell A1 contains text and display "Yes" if it does and "No" if it doesn't, you would enter the following formula:

=IF(ISTEXT(A1), "Yes", "No")

This formula will return "Yes" if cell A1 contains text and "No" if it does not.
