Im looking for a formula which would look at cell A1 and A2, if A1 contained the words MES and A2 was blank it would show on A3 Yes. Thank you.

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Sort by date Sort by votes
Enter into cell A3:
Code: 
=IF(AND(A1="MES",A2=""),"Yes","")

Cell A1 contains values like MES123, MES2334, so the formula would need to pick the MES portion and exclude anything after MES. Thank you.

Would the "MES" part always be at the beginning of the entry?
If so, then try:
Code: 
=IF(AND(LEFT(A1,3)="MES",A2=""),"Yes","")
