I WANT EXCEL TO LOOK AT A1 CELL AND "IF A1 IS BLANK THEN I WANT C1 TO BE COPIED IN THE A1 FIELD.

IS THERE A COMMAND FOR THIS?? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

No. You'd get a circular reference error.

You can't do it with a formula (it would be a circular reference) but you can do it with VBA:

For myRow = 1 to 1000
if Cells(myRow, 1).Value = "" Then
Cells(myRow, 1).Value = Cells(myRow, 3).value
End if
Next myRow

Just change 1000 to the last row of your data.
