I want to insert a text in a cell if another cell isn't empty. I have a dropdown list in column D. When a selection is made I want to add the text "Name Surname" to the opposite cell in column F.
I am sharing the Google Sheet sample file: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NhMP812BJRazPk9te_wTstoECCMW3TJpd7-8I7rkElI/edit?usp=sharing
You can paste following formula in cell F4
and then copy it to other cells:
=IF(ISBLANK($D4); ""; "NAME SURNAME")
Breaking it down:
ISBLANC(cell)
function checks if the cell is emptyIF(condition; value_if_true; value_if_false)
returns the second or the third argument depending on if the condition holds true.=IF(ISBLANK($D4); ""; "NAME SURNAME")
when cell $D4
is empty, result is empty string. When $D4
is not empty, result is NAME SURNAME
.
