Thanks everyone! Am in the process of trying these out now. One question,
for Gordon. The user has the option to select (via a drop-down) in C17 the
following: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11+. Your code works great, but
I've been trying to adjust it to accept 11+ as 10. Is there a way to add
that if C17 =11+, then treat it the same as C17 = 10?

In my spreadsheet, the user is asked to enter the # of rates in cell C17;
they can enter up to 10. I want to check to see if they've answered all 4
questions for each rate (each set of 4 questions (for each rate) is
non-contiguous with the next set of questions for another rate). A sample
of my current code is below. The problem is that there are up to 10 rates
for 18 different categories. By the time I finish doing all the code, it
will be huge. Surely there is a better way to accomplish this; I'm just an
intermediate VBA skill level (if that), and any help would be appreciated to
do this more efficiently. Thanks for any assistance...


Const BlankRates As String = "You've got some blanks, please complete all
the blanks."

If Application.CountBlank(Range("C20:C23")) = 1 Then
MsgBox BlankRates
Else
Call TrimIt1
End If
Else
If Range("C17") = 2 Then
If Application.CountBlank(Range("C20:C23")) = 1 Or _
