    Question IF(ISTEXT is not working

    I have a formula for a column in a table "=IF(ISTEXT([Version]), "MD", "NA")

    But this yields "MD" for every column. Even when Version is empty.

    What am I doing wrong?

    You sure Version is empty and not an "" or " "? =ISTEXT() will return false if the cell is empty. You can try ISBLANK() to double check.

    Pauleyb,

    You nailed it. SQL was pulling in " " instead of nothing.

    Fixed with adding "IF([VERSION]=" ", NA,...."

    to the beginning of the formula.
