Replace empty cells with (Blank)

Hello.


I'm looking to replace values in a column that are empty and have them return as (Blank).  I have created a new column that returns the (Blank) cells, but it doesn't work for the empty ones.

 

New Master Name = Switch( True(),

isblank([Originating Master Name]) &&  containsstring([Description], "prepaid") , "PREPAIDS" ,

isblank([Originating Master Name]), "Accrual/Reclass" ,

[Originating Master Name]

)

@dtango9 you can try this:

 

New Master Name = Switch( True(),
((isblank([Originating Master Name]) or LEN(TRIM([Originating Master Name])) = 0) &&  containsstring([Description], "prepaid") , "PREPAIDS" ,
((isblank([Originating Master Name]) or LEN(TRIM([Originating Master Name])) = 0), "Accrual/Reclass" ,
[Originating Master Name]

)

Neither solution worked.  I think this is a similar situation that I am experiencing :
