if statement where cell is not empty

[guerilla]

when writing if statements, if I want a certain action when the cell is empty
i write - if(A1="","do this","do something else"). But if I want it to do
something when there is anything in the cell in question how do I write the
statement? ie, if(A1="anything","do this","do something else".

Hope I am making sense.

Try

f(A1=<>,"do this","do something else")

another option is

=IF(ISBLANK(A1),"do something else"," do this")
