It can contain a zero length string. This can be cause when you do a Paste
Special, Value when the cell contained a formula displaying ""

=if(true,"",false)

as an example.

Occasionally when I use IsEmpty to see if a cell contains data like
"IsEmpty(Cells(x,y))" it returns "False" when there is nothing there.
I've
tested the cell with Len(Cells(x,y)) and it returns 0. Does anyone know
why
this happens or how to get around it?
Thanks,
