Question

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.

I would recommend a Formula for this

FORMULA

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:E1)*(A2:E2<>""))

If you still want VBA then

VBA

Option Explicit

Sub Sample()
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim Cl As Range
    Dim tot As Long

    Set rng = Range("A1:F1")

    For Each Cl In rng
        If Len(Trim(Cl.Offset(1))) <> 0 Then tot = tot + Cl.Value
    Next

    Debug.Print tot
End Sub

In fact you can have many versions in VBA. You can evaluate the above formula as well. For example

Option Explicit

Sub Sample()
    Debug.Print Evaluate("=SUMPRODUCT((A1:E1)*(A2:E2<>""""))")
End Sub
