Why doesn't If Not IsEmpty filter out empty strings?
In Visual Basic, Empty
and ""
(an empty string) are two different things. Empty
is the uninitialized state of a Variant
variable, and IsEmpty
tests whether a Variant
variable has the Empty
value:
Dim x As VariantIf IsEmpty(x) Then Debug.Print "x is empty"End If
As you've observed, you must compare against ""
when checking whether a String
variable contains an empty string.
If the variables are strings, you could also:
If Len(Wrkgps_L3) + Len(Wrkgps_L4) = 0 Then ' They're both empty string variablesElse ' One or the other contains at least one characterEnd If
