Formula to exclude blank cells

I have a formula set up to return a "yes" for all duplicate phone numbers and a "no" if not a duplicate, however, its pulling all blank rows as well and making my sheet look messy.

I need to exclude blank cells. My formula is:

=IF(COUNTIF(Phone:Phone, =Phone@row) > 1, "yes", "no")

thanks.

Hi @Tzippy

Try something like this.

=IF(Phone@row <> "", IF(COUNTIF(Phone:Phone, Phone@row) > 1, "yes", "no"))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,
