Just a note on ISBLANK()
If there is a formula in the reference cell ISBLANK() returns FALSE.

the ones I know, in the code:
"" Empty Null but within Excel (in formulas), the only way I know is "". you can also create a name and say it means "". And then use the name intead of the two quotes. to do it, you type Ctrl+F3 name: Blank (the word blank) refersto: ="" it should work! i imagine that maybe you want to be able to replace "" in bunch of formulas to something, and it would be easier to use a name instead. :) |

How many way to represent the blank space?
Thank everyone very much for suggestions
I would like to assign a blank into cell under specific condition, at this moment, I assign "", which work for Excel 2003, but when I transfer this file into Quick Office for my Nokia, which cannot recognize the symbol "" as a blank. Therefore, I try to look for another symbol, which is general to be use as a blank, and Quick Office will work for my file. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here is an IsEmpty function which I use for my own purposes - your needs may
be slightly different, but you can easily modify it to check for any conditions that you would like. Function IsEmpty(Entry As Range) IsEmpty = True If Entry.Value = "" Then Exit Function If Entry.Value = 0 Then Exit Function Length = Len(Entry.Value) If Length = 0 Then Exit Function If (Length = 1) And (Asc(Entry.Value) = 32) Then Exit Function IsEmpty = False End Function "Fernando Fernandes" wrote: the ones I know, in the code: "" Empty Null but within Excel (in formulas), the only way I know is "". you can also create a name and say it means "".

I would use " " rather than "". Note the blank between the quotes. That's
what makes it blank, rather than null. Regards, Fred. "Eric" wrote in message ...
