Default isnotblank function?

Is there a function that will tell me is a cell is not blank, or in
other words, does contain a value?

Maybe:

=NOT(ISBLANK(B3))

Try something like this:

=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(A1)),"Value","No Value")

There are many IS functions you can use to determine any number of values

ISODD
ISEVEN
ISNUMBER

Check Excel help for details regarding additional IS functions.

For someone like me who needs to interpret the TRUE or FALSE that the
suggested formulas would return, I would use something like this:

=IF(ISBLANK(A1),"Cell A1 is blank","Cell A1 is NOT blank"). Edit the last
two arguments to suit your purpose/preference.
