Functions in excel

Does anyone know how to use an empty cell in a formula? I am making an IF THEN argument and I want to say IF there is an empty cell, THEN fill it in with another cell of my choice.
Any thoughts?

=IF(B1,"",C1)

OR

=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(B1)),"",C1)

will work better if text could be entered into b1.

Good luck

Re: OR

err,
=IF(ISBLANK(B1),C1,"") should do the trick too.
