Syntax to review if excel data is blank

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 28

When reading data from Excel the information is stored in the variable %ExcelData%. I want to use an If conditional to review if the %ExcelData% is blank.

 

My question is what would be the correct syntax for the if conditional to represent the blank space? I have tried leaving the If conditional Blank but that is not currently allowed, I have also tried other ways of expressing blanks such as " "

 

If %ExcelData% is Equal to (=) Expression representing blank

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @AlanYC 

     

    You could write it like: If %ExcelData% is Equal to (=) %""%

     

    This is an empty text variable.

     

    I hope the above helps!
