Blank cell is not blank
Excel XP & Win XP
This one is costing me hair. I am helping an OP from England. I am working with her file. I narrowed down my problem so I can explain it simply and without getting into VBA. I have a string of cells in a row that appear to be blank. I select a cell to the left of my problem cell and do End - Right arrow. Excel stops at the problem cell, that appears to be blank. I do =Len(That cell) and get zero. I do =CountA(That cell) and get 1. All the cells have Conditional Formatting as a function of row number with a format of color. Most of the "empty" cells act like empty cells. But a few, like my problem cell, do not. The code "If ActiveCell.Value="" Then..." says it's True. The code "If IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Value) Then... says its False. I can do Edit - Clear - Contents and the problem is solved. I know I can run a code that loops through all the cells in the used range, like: If i.Value="" Then i.ClearContents and solve this problem, but my question is: What is happening with that cell? Thanks for your time. Otto |
