# IFDEFINED function

## Description

Fills the defined values of an expression with a given value.

## Syntax

`IFDEFINED(Expression containing values, Value if defined, Value if blank )`

## Arguments

| Argument | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| *Expression containing values* (required) | Any | Expression containing Values. |
| *Value if defined* (required) | Any | Expression containing value you want to fill if the argument *Expression containing values* contains values. This needs to be the same type as the argument *Value if blank.* |
| *Value if blank* (optional) | Any | Expression containing the value you want to fill if the argument *Expression containing values* contains no values (`BLANK`). This needs to be the same type as the argument *Value if defined.* This is an optional argument, so if no value is provided for this argument, it returns `BLANK`. |

## Returns

| Type | Output Structure (Dimensions) |
| --- | --- |
| Same type as *Value if defined* / *Value if blank* | All Dimensions in the arguments *Expression containing values*, *Value if defined*, *Value if blank*. |

## Examples

| Formula | Result | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `IFDEFINED (1, TRUE, FALSE)` | `TRUE` | Value 1 is defined, fill with `TRUE`. |
| `IFDEFINED (1, TRUE)` | `TRUE` | Value 1 is defined, fill with `TRUE` |

**Excel equivalent**: IF(NOT(ISBLANK(*cell*)), *value if true*, *value if false*)
