IsText( ) Function
This is a quick video on how to use the IsText( ) function in Excel. I typically use this informational function when referencing a cell that contains information about a date. Sometimes that date may be stored as text, while other times it is stored as a value. The format in which the date is stored can impact other functions, such as the Count( ) function, which only counts values - so, for instance, if I have a list of dates and some are stored as values while others are stored as text, only the ones stored as values will be counted in the Count( ) function.
