I'm wondering if the IsEmpty() checks the entire range that i'v
specified.? I am trying to generate a check for empty ranges wher
there should be data...here's what i have so far...
(checks every 11th row after the first one)

For J = 12 To 608
Set rng = Range("D" & J, "O" & J)
If IsEmpty(rng) = True Then
MsgBox "no values entered for analyte on line " & J
Exit Sub
Else
J = J + 10
End If
Next J

I just cannot get this to work, any suggestions?
thanks

Use something like this chick-racer

If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(rng) = 0 Then MsgBox "empty"

Ron has provided you with a solution.

To clarify, the confusingly-named IsEmpty has to do with whether or not a
variable has been initialized, and not with whether or not a range is empty.

Vasant,

Although Help says it works on variables, it also works on a single cell
range. For instance

?IsEmpty(Range("A1"))

returns True if A1 has no data, False if it does.

?IsEmpty(Range("A1:D1")

returns False whatever the contents.

I guess VBA converts the Range value into a temporary variable.
