Using Information Functions

You can use information functions to help you determine the type of information in a cell or display information about formatting, location, or contents of a cell. The following information functions return TRUE when the function is valid: ISBLANK, ISERR, ISERROR, ISFORMULA (New!), ISEVEN, ISLOGICAL, ISNA, ISNONTEXT, ISNUMBER, ISODD, ISREF, and ISTEXT. The other main information functions are CELL, INFO, TYPE, and ERROR.TYPE, which display information about the cell contents. The SHEET function (New!) returns the sheet number of the referenced sheet, while the SHEETS function (New!)returns the number of sheets in a reference.
