Asked by dchau12 in Spreadsheet Software, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

I am trying to run the following function, but I am getting an error.   I want the result to be a 1 if the value of b3 is blank, and if it is not, I want it to concatenate the string "hi" with the concents of the cell b3.  Any suggestions?
