Hi

What is a formula or way I can write to determine if this is a text string(any text) then do this.
If not, if numeric value, do that?
 

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Or, can an if statement condition verify if the cell value is in a specific cell location (if cell is located in A2 or A3 do this)?

Test with a simple function.

=IF(ISNUMBER(A1),...
=IF(ISTEXT(A1),...

Maybe something on the lines of

=IF(A2=??

There are too many possibilities to give an accurate answer without more information.
