Default Exit For statement in nested For ... Next blocks


I have the block of code below in a Sub that tidies up a copied worksheet
by removing unused rows. Its contained in a With €¦ End With block that
refers to the copied sheet. Id like to know how the Exit For statement is
handled if its in a For ... Next block that is nested within another For
€¦ Next block. I.e. will it cause the code to exit only the inner For €¦
Next block and proceed with the

If VacRowClear = True Then

statement, or will it exit the outer For €¦ Next block?

I use nested For €¦ Next blocks quite a lot in my code; are they considered
bad programming practice?

'delete Vacancy block rows if clear
If VacancyStartRow < VacancyEndRow Then
For r = VacancyEndRow To VacancyStartRow Step -1
'assume clear
VacRowClear = True
'test whether first 9 cells are all clear
For c = 1 To 9
If .Cells(r, c).Value < "" Then 'if any cell not clear....
VacRowClear = False ' ... reset Boolean
Exit For €˜<---- will this statement exit only the inner
€˜ For ... Next block, or the outer one as well?
End If
Next c
'if all 9 first cells are clear, delete row
If VacRowClear = True Then
.Rows(r).Delete
End If
Next r
End If
