    ISBLANK - Hmmmmmmm

    Hi All,

    Just wanted some support on this one.

    I created the below formula to state 3 variables depending on the outcome of my tests, "WIN", "LOSE" or "INCONCLUSIVE".

    =IF((AND(AF3>Q3)),"WIN",(IF((AND(AF3<Q3)),"LOSE",(IF((AND(AF3=Q3)),"INCONCLUSIVE")))))

    However I wanted to amend it so that if cell "AF3" was blank the formula would pull back "-" can anyone help me?

    I tried the below but excel didn't seem to like this.

    =IF((AND(AF3>Q3)),"WIN",(IF((AND(AF3<Q3)),"LOSE",(IF((AND(AF3=Q3)),"INCONCLUSIVE",(IF((AND(ISBLANK(AF3,"-")))))))

    you're quite close, you just needed to re-order the if statements
    =IF(ISBLANK(AF3),"-",IF((AND(AF3>Q3)),"WIN",(IF((AND(AF3<Q3)),"LOSE",(IF((AND(AF3=Q3)),"INCONCLUSIVE"))))))
