I am trying to the copy the movie genre from column D if it's not empty, otherwise insert the text string "N/A" into Column E using ARRAYFORMUlA and IF. Here is the formula I'm using, which is working, however, it's producing TRUE or N/A instead of the movie title or N/A. I know this is a simple fix, but for the life of me can not get it to work.

=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK(D2),"N/A",ISTEXT(D2)))

I got this one figured out using the below formula
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(D2:D<>"",D2:D,"N/A"))
