EXCEL VBA Check if entry is empty or not 'space'

Question

Note. Check if the TextBox1 is empty is easy by using TextBox1.Value = "".

But the problem is when the user hit the spacebar, TextBox1 will still recognize it as a value. In such case, my data will appear as an empty cell with 1 space inside. So my question is, is there any method to check TextBox1.value for empty and also not consist of space whether there are 1 or more space? Million thanks to all.

Answer 1

A common trick is to check like this:

trim(TextBox1.Value & vbnullstring) = vbnullstring

this will work for spaces, empty strings, and genuine null values

Answer 2

Most terse version I can think of

Len(Trim(TextBox1.Value)) = 0

If you need to do this multiple times, wrap it in a function

Public Function HasContent(text_box as Object) as Boolean
    HasContent = (Len(Trim(text_box.Value)) > 0)
End Function

Usage

If HasContent(TextBox1) Then
    ' ...

Answer 3

Here is the code to check whether value is present or not.

If Trim(textbox1.text) <> "" Then
     'Your code goes here
Else
     'Nothing
End If

I think this will help.

Answer 4

You can use the following code to check if a textbox object is null/empty

'Checks if the box is null

If Me.TextBox & "" <> "" Then

        'Enter Code here...

End if
