IsEmpty() Returns False in empty cells
Occasionally when I use IsEmpty to see if a cell contains data like
"IsEmpty(Cells(x,y))" it returns "False" when there is nothing there. I've tested the cell with Len(Cells(x,y)) and it returns 0. Does anyone know why this happens or how to get around it? Thanks, John Hutchins |

It can contain a zero length string. This can be cause when you do a Paste

IsEmpty() Returns False in empty cells
IsEmpty(), while it seems to work for really empty cells, is meant to
determine if a variable has been initialized. You may be better off testing as follows if you want cells with formulas that return null strings to be considered empty: ?Cells(1, 1) = "" False -- Vasant "John Hutchins" <John wrote in message ...
