Question

I have a variable which contains a range value which is selected by the user.

How can I check if it have a value or not?

I’ve tried these:

If variable_name.Value = Empty then ....

If variable_name.Value = " " then ...

But these are only good when the variable contains data like text or numbers or whitespace.

Any idea?

Depends what you are testing.

A range object or a cell value?

Sub test()

Dim rngObject As Range
Dim value As Variant

    Set rngObject = Sheet1.Range("A1:D5")

    If Not rngObject Is Nothing Then
    'If not nothing then run this code
    End If

    value = rngObject.Cells(1, 1).value
    If Not IsEmpty(value) Then
    'if Not empty then run this code
    End If

    If value <> vbNullString Then
    'if value is not nullstring then run this code
    End If


End Sub
