Hey @Crypto_raccoon 

 

Instead of ISBLANK(), try IsEmpty(). Also, in Alteryx, use iif for conditional statements like this.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi @Crypto_raccoon,

 

I believe it would be 

 

IIF(IsEmpty([Column name]), 'No', 'Yes')

In the event this still doesn't work, use the cleanse tool to eliminate leading & trailing whitespaces and then use the IsEmpty() method again.
