[ snipped ]

Is there a function to test if a cell is empty?
       =ISBLANK(celladdress) returns TRUE or FALSE

How do I concat a constant string to a cell content?
        ="constant string"&celladdress
        =celladdress&"text"&"Text"&celladdress

The constant text can be concated before, after, in between other cell contents. Separate the arguments with an ampersand (&) and enclose any constant strings in double quotes.

When I copy a formula, how do I prevent cell H4 to change to H5, H6, H7 ...
(while H6 in the same formula still should change this way)?

Use the $ sign in front of elements of a cell address that you want to remain unchanged.
       $A$4 would remain pointing to cell A4 when copied.
A$4 would continue to point to row 4, but the column would change relative to "A" if the formula is copied to other columns. $A4 locks the column to always be "A", but the row number will change when the formula is copied.



If I get the last questions answer I can complete my work, if I get all answered I can understand what I have done next month as well :)
