Cell Visualy look blank but ISBlank() function return false
I have a cell looks blank in the spreadsheet, but when I use ISBLANK () to test, it returns FALSE and when I use ISEMPTY() tot test it returns #NAME?.
How should I test it?

Hi
ISEMPTY() is not a formula. This is why you have #NAME?
ISBLANK() will tell TRUE if the cell is really empty but if you have an empty space in it, it will tell you FALSE

One of the more interesting initiatives the Excel team has taken on in the past year is soliciting ideas for improving Excel...from the user community. They do this in the UserVoice set of webpages.
As it happens, one of the suggestions is a function that can be used to test whether the cell is truly "virgin" in the sense that there is nothing in it, not even an empty string =""
