Hi,

I'm having this problem whereby a few cells in my work contain empty texts. An empty text is represented textually in VBA with a pair of double quotation marks with nothing inside (I think).
This means that the cells don't display anything visible, but are not blank/empty.

So what happens is that formulas such as ISBLANK(), COUNTA(), etc. are returning unexpected results.

How do I find and replace these empty texts with nothingness?

If possible, no VBA please!

Thank you in advance

P.S. Didn't know that there's a free version of ASAP as well. This is cool.

The only downside (or is it??) for the free version of ASAP is forced update to a newer version twice a year.... :biggrin:

If you don't update to a newer version within some days of the update warning appearance, ASAP stops working.

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
