Hello

What would be the custom number format to replace blank with "text"?

I tried ;;”text" or "text" with conditional formatting but it didn't work.

Thanks!

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
You cannot use a custom cell format to put text into an empty cell.

You would probably need to use VBA to do something like this, but then you need to determine how/when the VBA code would run.
Would someone run it manually, or should it happen auotmaitcally upon some event happening?
If so, what situation/action would trigger the code to run?

If you write a blank, then it returns "text"
Try:

;;;"text"
