Strictly speaking though, Monarch categorizes IsBlank as a "string" function (along with IsAlpha and a couple of other "Is" functions), and as such I didn't include it, but will discuss those soon too. Things really get interesting with those functions, so as they say... "Stay tuned!" You’re right Bruce, IsBlank IS another useful function for this type of data testing.
