-2(ERROR) ... Inputs “ERROR” into the conditional expression. For example, you can use this to input A1=ERROR. Decision depends on whether or not “ERROR” is displayed in the cell being referenced in the conditional expression (A1 in the example here).

-3(BLANK) ... Inputs “BLANK” into the conditional expression. Decision depends on whether or not the cell being referenced in the conditional expression is blank.

-4(And) ... Inputs the logical operator “And” into the conditional expression.

-5(Or) ... Inputs the logical operator “Or” into the conditional expression.

Note

You can input up to 255 bytes of data for a conditional expression.

ERROR, BLANK, and text strings can be used in a conditional expression only in the syntaxes shown below or their inverses (ERROR=<Cell>, etc.). <Cell> stands for a single cell reference (such as A1).

<Cell>=ERROR, <Cell>=BLANK, <Cell>ERROR, <Cell>BLANK, <Cell>=<text string>, <Cell><text string>
