you cannot put a formula in a cell referencing this cell itself (leads to circular reference). you can put the formula in another empty cell.
suppose cell reference is in column A form A2 down
then in B2 type a formula
=ilf(A1="",3,5)
you can copy B1 down
this formula meaning is
if A1 is blank than B1 will be 3
if it is not blank B1 will be 5
of course you can write and run a macro to avoid circular reference

Sub test() Dim r As Range, c As Range Set r = Range(Range("A2"), Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp)) For Each c In r If c = "" Then c = 3 Else c = 5 End If Next c End Sub
