Checks whether a value is non-textual.
Sample Usage
ISNONTEXT(A2)
ISNONTEXT("cat")
Syntax
ISNONTEXT(value)
-
value
- The text to be checked.-
ISNONTEXT
returnsFALSE
if this is a text value or a reference to a cell containing a text value andTRUE
otherwise. -
When
value
is a reference to an empty cell,ISNONTEXT
will returnTRUE
. -
When
value
is an empty string,ISNONTEXT
will returnFALSE
, as the empty string is considered text.
-
Notes
-
Nonprinting characters and whitespace count as text, so when
ISNONTEXT
is called on a cell containing such characters, the function will returnFALSE
even though the cell appears empty. -
Numbers input as text, e.g.
"1234"
count as text, and will causeISNONTEXT
to returnFALSE
. -
ISNONTEXT(value)
is the logical equivalent ofNOT(ISTEXT(value))
-
This function is most often used in conjunction with
IF
in conditional statements.
