ISREF

Checks whether a value is a valid cell reference.

Sample usage

ISREF(A2)

Syntax

ISREF(value)

• value – The value to be verified as a cell reference.

  *ISREF returns TRUE if this is a valid cell reference, and FALSE otherwise.

  • Providing a string containing a valid cell reference (e.g. 'A2') for value returns FALSE as the input is a string, not a reference.

Notes

• This function is most often used in conjunction with IF in conditional statements.
