I am trying to check for the presence of blank cells in a row of 4 cells. If all of the cells are blank, I want it to return a value.
I have tried this statement:
=IF(isblank(c2) and IF(isblank(d2) and IF(isblank(e2) and IF(isblank(f2),"Pool"," "))))
I am running into errors in the statement. What am I doing wrong? IF all the cells c2:f2 are blank, I want to enter "pool" in G2, otherwise, I want to leave it blank
I'd appreciate any suggestions!
thanks,

The correct syntax is:
=if(and(isblank(c2),isblank(d2),isblank(e2),isblank(f2)),"Pool"," ")
You also need to realize that setting the cell to a single space as this formula does will cause Isblank to fail. It's not blank, but a space.
Thanks a bunch - especially for the quick response. I did want it to track blanks cells. Very cool!
