It depends on the order in which you format the cell as text.
If the cell is not formatted as text, your formula will read =”” and the cell will be blank.
If the cell is formatted as text, your formula will read =”” and the cell will read =””
If you had the cell NOT formatted as text (number or general), entered =”” and THEN formatted the cell as text, your formula will read =”” and the cell will be blank.
