Description
The ISNONTEXT Function a conditional function that returns either TRUE or FALSE as result. If means the condition is met, Excel returns the TRUE result otherwise it returns the text FALSE.
Conditional functions play a major role in dynamic Excel modeling as these provide the opportunity to vary results if the particular scenario changes.
In the ISNONTEXT Function, if the referred cell does not contain text, it means the condition is met and the TRUE result will be returned.

Any cell not containing text e.g. error, number, and formula/ logical values will be returned as TEXT. However, if numbers or logical values are stored as text this function will return FALSE.
