empty variable range

[S1]

hi all,
I posted this yesterday but i failed to mention something
and the advise i got is not working. my fault.
how can i tell if a range is empty.
i have a do loop that i want to check a range as it goes
down the sheet. if the range is empty then color it else
don't. the range is assigned to a variable as it moves
down the sheet.
what i am using now is
application.counta("qpa1")
this counts 1 regardless of what is in the range.
anyone have hints, suggestions, directions?
any help would be appreciated.
S1

There must be something in the range if it is 1.

hi bob
I high lighted the range and deleted. but even in the
other ranges(as it moves down the sheet) it will return 1
even if there are 3,4 or 5 number in the range. it returns
1 regardless.

hi,
i did some research.
Counta is for text/other
count is for numbers
however changing to count and formating all the qpa's to
number does no good either.
aplication.count("qpa1") now returns zero regarless of
what is in the range.
