Default passing Nulls to SQL Server 2005

I have some stored procedures in a SQL Server 2005 database to which I pass
Excel data by way of VBA. These sprocs have parameters, some of which are
expecting strings from cells in text-type columns in Excel - these are then
passed to database fields of type varchar or nvarchar. This code currently
falls over if one of these cells has nothing in it. Does anyone know of a
way in Excel/VBA that I can pass nulls successfully to text fields in SQL
Server? Perhaps some VBA constant I haven't heard of.

(I know I can deal with it in the stored procedures by setting defaults of
null and then using If conditions but this seems unnecessarily
overcomplicated.)
