IsEmpty function not working in Macro

well... frankly, it means the cells you're working with aren't empty. i suggest you double-check that you're testing the cells you think you are.

set a breakpoint after the line "ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select", then hit CTRL+G when the program breaks to bring up the Immediate Window. in that window, type "? ActiveCell.Address" and hit enter to see what cell you're actually looking at, then verify that it's empty onscreen. additionally, you can type "? IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Value)" or just "? ActiveCell.Value" and see what pops up.

hope this helps - happy debugging!

MS Excel: How to use the ISEMPTY Function (VBA)
If you wish to test whether a worksheet cell is empty in VBA, you can not use the worksheet function called ISBLANK. In VBA, you must use the ISEMPTY function.

VBA How-To: If/Else and Checking For Empty Strings - DEV Community
July 1, 2020 - However, because I was curious I why IsEmpty() did not return true in my first attempt, I went back to the documentation and read it again. It specifically says that IsEmpty() only returns True if a variable is not initialized or explicitly set to Empty. If you notice in my first example I declare stringVar as a string because I am used to programming in strongly typed languages and it makes sense to me to mark how a variable is to be used.

r/vba on Reddit: IsEmpty function not working in Macro
June 10, 2017 -

I have multiple lines in my macro where I am checking to see if the current cell is empty or not. One of the lines works great. Two do not. I have copied the code for the two that don't from the one that does and it still isn't working. I've been stepping through the code line by line and I watch it not execute and I can't figure out where I'm going wrong. I also tried the Googles but no results there seemed to match my problem. Basically, regardless of the value in the active cells, the code always skips straight to "Else", even if one cell is empty and one is not. I have copied this exact code into a separate macro that was just this code and it worked fine. Why on earth would it not work here?

I Trim the cell to get rid of any potential whitespace characters. I'm sure there are more efficient ways to do this but, alas, I am not a code wizard yet. Bool1 and Bool2 are created and initialized to False earlier in the code. Also, the line that works uses the exact same IF statement setup, just with different values. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the snippet

ActiveCell.Value = Trim(ActiveCell.Value)

If IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Value) = True Then

'cell empty

bool1 = False

Else

'cell has x

bool1 = True

End If

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select

ActiveCell.Value = Trim(ActiveCell.Value)

If IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Value) = True Then

'cell empty

bool2 = False

Else

'cell has x

bool2 = True

End If
