Syntax error.
 

how does the for each cell in range synax work? I have the
following
For Each Cell In Range("I3:I9")
If Cell.Value = "" Then
'code
Next cell
which is saying that cell is empty? thanks so much

Syntax error.
 

It loops through the cells in the specified range one at a time and performs
the code contained within the loop structure against each cell.

David,

It takes each cell ion the specified range one at a time and executes the
code between the For and the next upon that cell. So first time through,
cell will refer to I3, 2nd it will refer to I4, etc.

Don't forget your End If.

And it's not really testing for emptiness.

The cell could be empty or it could even contain a giant formula that evaluates
to "".

=if(a3=7,"",sum(x9:x22))

When a3 = 7, the .value = "".

(and a single quote (') would qualify, too.)

If you really want empty:

if isempty(cell) then
