Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
If Excel can't find anything it won't do anything and you haven't specified anything for it to find.
If you're trying to replace the blank cells with "Unknown", then try copying this formula down another column
=IF(A1<>"",A1,"Unknown")

I am trying to find "" but looks like there are no "". so how can i find what that cell contains when it shows blank and it is not "" so how to replace the contents of that cell with "Unknown"?

I tried AJ's formula but does not work it works on the cell in the rows where data on the work sheet ends after that it works
