ISREFChecks 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.
