Want to list the cell address in range OneRng of each blank.

As is, it list the first blank cell address only, but for as many times as there are cells in OneRng.

Thanks.
Howard


Sub OneRng_List_Blanks()

Dim c As Range, Rng As Range
Dim cBlnk$, sMsg$, vDataOut$
Dim blnkFnd As Boolean
Dim i As Long

Dim OneRng As Range, c As Range
Set OneRng = Range("A1:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)

For i = 1 To Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
'For Each c In OneRng

Set Rng = OneRng.Find(What:="", _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns)
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
blnkFnd = True

cBlnk = cBlnk & " " & Rng.Address

End If

'Next c
Next i

If blnkFnd Then
sMsg = "Blanks found on the following cells:"
sMsg = sMsg & vbLf & vbLf
sMsg = sMsg & Join(Split(Mid(cBlnk, 2), ","), vbLf)
Else
'Exit Sub
sMsg = "Blanks not found"
End If

MsgBox sMsg
End Sub

I notice I have c Dimmed twice.

Dim c As Range, Rng As Range
Dim OneRng As Range, c As Range

That is a typo, otherwise code problem is as stated.

Putting Option Explicit* at the top of code modules will catch
duplicate declarations. You can have this done automatically by
checking the option in the VBE Tools Options dialog...

Try filtering your range on blank cells only in a For Each loop...


Sub FilterOnBlankCells()
Dim OneRng As Range, c As Range, sBlanks$, vMsg
Set OneRng = Range("A1:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
For Each c In OneRng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
sBlanks = sBlanks & "|" & c.Address
Next 'c

If sBlanks < "" Then
vMsg = "Blanks found on the following cells:" & vbLf & vbLf
vMsg = vMsg & Join(Split(Mid(sBlanks, 2), "|"), vbLf)
Else
vMsg = "No blanks found"
End If
MsgBox vMsg
End Sub

New and improved version...

Sub FilterOnBlankCells()
Dim OneRng As Range, c As Range, sBlanks$, vMsg

Set OneRng = Range("N1:N" & Cells(Rows.Count, "N").End(xlUp).Row)
On Error GoTo ErrExit

For Each c In OneRng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
sBlanks = sBlanks & "|" & c.Address
Next 'c

ErrExit:
If Err = 0 Then
vMsg = "Blanks found on the following cells:" & vbLf & vbLf
vMsg = vMsg & Join(Split(Mid(sBlanks, 2), "|"), vbLf)
Else
vMsg = "No blanks found"
End If
MsgBox vMsg, vbInformation
End Sub

Thanks, Garry.

Both are good as gold.

Although the newer version was a surprise keying on column N. Changed it to my data and is golden.

I actually do use Option Explicit as the default, I was consolidating a generalized version of the few versions of code I had tried while trying to find the correct code, and copied back some bogus stuff.

Thanks for the help.

Yeah, I only have data in col "N" on my test sheet. I assumed you'd
edit to suit!<g

Very nice, Claus!
This would be much faster if the range was large and no blank cells.

or try it this way. Connected cells are written as ranges:

Hi Garry and Claus,

Here is the finished product, a before close alert for blank cells, and an alert box of those blank cells.

Thanks a ton for the excellent codes.

Howard


Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim myCnt As Long, Diff As Long
Dim OneRng As Range, sBlanks$, vMsg

Set OneRng = Range("A1:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
myCnt = Application.CountA(OneRng)

Diff = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row - myCnt
If Not Me.Saved Then
If Diff 0 Then

MsgBox "Cells A1 to A" & myCnt & " " & _
" must have values before " _
& vbCr & " the workbook is closed or saved!" _
& vbCr & vbCr & _
" " & Diff & _
" cells are empty!", vbExclamation, "Blank Cells Alert"

Cancel = True
End If
End If

If Application.CountBlank(OneRng) = 0 Then
'Exit Sub
vMsg = "No blanks found"
Else

sBlanks = OneRng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Address(0, 0)
sBlanks = Join(Split(sBlanks, ","), Chr(10))
vMsg = "Blanks cells a" & vbLf & vbLf & sBlanks

End If

If possible I rather check the occurance of that cell type than handle
an error when working with SpecialCells

Makes sense! The error handling was needed to keep the msgbox code
together. Though your idea escapes the loop if there are no blanks.
Better approach IMO.

the above does not work reliable. You have to set the range fix as he
should be filled. Also does not work SpecialCells method under the last
cell. And you don't have to count blanks because "Diff" is the count of
the blank cells.
Try:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
Dim myCnt As Long, Diff As Long
Dim OneRng As Range, rngC As Range, sBlanks$, vMsg

Set OneRng = Range("A1:A200")
myCnt = Application.CountA(OneRng)
If Len(Range("A200")) = 0 Then Range("A200") = "End"

Diff = 200 - myCnt
If Not ThisWorkbook.Saved Then
If Diff 0 Then

MsgBox "Cells A1 to A" & myCnt & " " & _
" must have values before " _
& vbCr & " the workbook is closed or saved!" _
& vbCr & vbCr & _
" " & Diff & _
" cells are empty!", vbExclamation, "Blank Cells Alert"

Cancel = True
sBlanks = OneRng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Address(0, 0)
sBlanks = Join(Split(sBlanks, "|"), Chr(10))
vMsg = "Blanks cells a" & vbLf & vbLf & sBlanks
End If
End If

MsgBox vMsg, vbInformation

Hi Claus,

What I was shooting for was to make the code adaptable to the length of column A.

But it really is not that difficult to adjust the ranges in the code to match column A, should it change.

Thanks for the tweaks, which include the last cell, should it be a blank.

Howard
