'Using VBA to check if below cell is empty
How do I use VBA in Excel to check if a below cell is empty or not? I want to sum all values in a specific range, but only, if the below cell is not empty.
Is that somehow possible with VBA or any other way?
Example:
4 2 3 2 1
2 3 1
Sum would be: 4 + 3 + 2 = 9.

Try this simple code
If IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0)) Then
'your code here
End If

I've had some problems using just 'IsEmpty' when the data is exported from other databases. This is the function I've developed:
Function IsVacant(TheVar As Variant) As Boolean
'LeandraG 2010
IsVacant = False
If IsEmpty(TheVar) Then IsVacant = True
If Trim(TheVar) = "" Then IsVacant = True
If Trim(TheVar) = "'" Then IsVacant = True
End Function

For those who are desperate: sometimes an Excel cell seems empty, but upon inspection may contain something invisible, such as a space character. And then all those IsEmpty and IsNull functions won't help you.
