Hi, I have 3 columns of data and I'm trying to put together a formula using the IF function and is blank but I'm not getting results in 2013 excel. I want to concatenate cells a3 and b3 if cell c3 is blank, if cell c3 is not blank i want to concatenate cells a3 and c3 into column d.
I've tried IF(Isblank(c3),concatenate(a3,b3),concatenate(a3,c3)) My2013 is not highlighting the part of the formula that is the problem (why would that be too?) so I can't troubleshoot it by point.
Thanks.
Try this:
D3 =IF(C3="",A3&B3,A3&C3)
or a little shorter...
D3 =A3&IF(C3="",B3,C3)
If C3 is empty, you formula should work, but if C3 contains a formula that is returning "", then it is not blank, even if it appears to be
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

@FDibbins, C3 does contain a formula that returns a blank "appearing" cell. Thank you.
@63falcondude, thank you!

I kinda figured, thats why most of us use ="" instead of isblank()
