How can I see what cell A1 contains? It appears empty but =ISBLANK(A1) returns "FALSE" Maybe the cell contains a zero length sting, try =IsText(A1) If that returns true and IsBlank is false just delete it, or maybe also test for =Len(A1) is zero Peter T |

=IsText(A1) returns "True" for the allegedly empty cell.
=Len(A1) returns '1' for the allegedly empty cell (even though nothing is displayed in the cell) so I will delete the cell. |

=IsText(A1) returns "True" for the allegedly empty cell. =Len(A1) returns '1' for the allegedly empty cell (even though nothing is displayed in the cell) so I will delete the cell. If Len(A1) = 1 the cell contains one character, check what =Code("A1") returns. Peter T |

Peter: I wish I had known about =Code("A1") before I deleted the allegedly empty/blank cells.

Peter: I wish I had known about =Code("A1") before I deleted the allegedly empty/blank cells. But Len(A1) = 1 established the cell was not empty! Maybe the cell was formatted with white text on white, or contained a space or similar, or maybe all those cells contained the code to a secret fortune, we'll never know:) Peter T |

I don't get this; -perhaps just laziness so as not to have to reach for the Backspace key?<g -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org Classic VB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion |
