Hello Patrick Raimond,

Great observation! Yes, it can be a bit confusing, ISBLANK only returns TRUE if a cell is truly empty, not if it contains a formula like =””.
In those cases, checking = “” directly, as you did, is the best approach. Thanks for sharing your solution, this tip will definitely help others who run into the same issue!
