Anybody have any thoughts as to why a simple comparision operator is not
working for me? Thanks!

I'm trying to do a comparison operator that is being printed on an export
text file. What I am trying to do is this. See below:

1) If columns N and M in the worksheet have data, then I want them both
stored into a string variable and then it is to be exported onto a text file.
2) If column N has data and column M is null, then only N is to be stored
into a text string variable and then it is to be exported onto a text file.
3) If column M has data and column N is null, then only column M is to be
stored into a text string variable and then it is to be exported onto a text
file.
4) If columns N and M are null, then nothing is to be stored into the text
string and the line will be skipped on the text file that is to be exported
from Excel.

Everything works fine and the text file displays both of the fields properly
when they both have data, but if one of the columns is blank, then nothing
shows up on the text file. Why is this happening? Below is my logic for the
code, please see below.



If IsEmpty(Cells(I, "N").Value) Or Cells(I, "N").Value = "" Then
NVariable = ""
Else: NVariable = Cells(I, "N").Value
End If

If IsEmpty(Cells(I, "M").Value) Or Cells(I, "M").Value = "" Then
MVariable = ""
Else: MVariable = Cells(I, "M").Value
End If



NandMVariable = NVariable + MVariable

If IsEmpty(NandMVariable) Or NandMVariable = "" Then
NANDMVARSTRING = ""
ElseIf (NVariable = "" And MVariable < "") Then
NANDMVARSTRING = "$DATUM " & MVariable & vbCrLf
ElseIf (MVariable = "" And NVariable < "") Then
NANDMVARSTRING = "$DATUM " & NVariable & vbCrLf
ElseIf NandMVariable < "" Then
NANDMVARSTRING = "$DATUM " & NVariable & "_" & MVariable &
vbCrLf
End If
