Hello,

I have some hidden and grouped rows, sometimes there are numbers present within those cells. I am looking to setup a VBA method to check if there are numbers exist within those cells.

Something like this:

For each cell in selection

If number exist within hidden/grouped cells then msgbox True.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

    Set vis = rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
   
    cRng = WorksheetFunction.Count(rng)
    cVis = WorksheetFunction.Count(vis)
    c = cRng - cVis
    If c > 0 Then MsgBox c & " non-visible cells in " & rng.Address(0, 0) & " contain numbers"
End Sub
