ISTEXT(value) Function

Returns a logical value. If the argument “value” contains a text, the function returns TRUE. Conversely, if the argument is not a text, the function returns FALSE. The argument “value” contains the reference to a cell, a constant or an expression. The function returns FALSE if the argument contains a numerical data, a date, time or a logical value. For example:

=ISTEXT(33) Returns FALSE. The argument is a number, not text.
=ISTEXT("hola") Returns TRUE. The argument is of type text.
=ISTEXT(A1) If the contents of cell A1 is text, the function returns TRUE, otherwise returns FALSE.
