“If…Then” with an “And”

I an trying to say;

Delete each row in the range “AS59:AS616” if the cell in row “AS” is empty, EXCEPT for those in which the cell in the same row, 3 columns to the left is NOT empty. I’m just finding my way with vba and the “AND” function is hanging me up. Help would be appreciated.

For Each cell In ActiveSheet.Range("AS16:AS575")
If cell.Value = "" And cell.offset(0,-3)<>”” Then cell.EntireRow.Hidden = True
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
I want to leave the rows in which the cell 3 columns to the left ARE NOT empty. Changing <>"" to ="" would say the opposite, that they are "" (empty).

using the code;

For Each cell In ActiveSheet.Range("AS16:AS575")
If cell.Value = "" Then cell.EntireRow.Hidden = True

Hides ALL the rows. I want them to remain visible if there is anything in the cell 3 columns to the left.

maybe
Code:
For Each cell In ActiveSheet.Range("AS16:AS575")
If cell.Value = "" And cell.Offset(0, -3).Value = "" Then cell.EntireRow.Hidden = True
Next cell

.Hidden =True doesn't leave rows, it hides rows.
using the code;

If cell.Value = "" Then cell.EntireRow.Hidden = True

That's not what I said. My suggestion changes:
If cell.Value = "" And cell.offset(0,-3)<>”” Then cell.EntireRow.Hidden = True
to:
If cell.Value = "" And cell.offset(0,-3)="" Then cell.EntireRow.Hidden = True
which, not having tested it, I think hides those rows where both cells are "", and is similar to Michael M's suggestion.

Yep, your right.
I only posted to try and clarify / confirm with the complete lines.
AND
Brian, you need to ensure the double quotes are the correct ones.
I note in your code you have a pair from Excel
Code:
 ""
and a pair from word,
Code:
””
which won't work as desired

I note that Brian F in msg#1 says he wants to delete rows but the code he cites only hides rows.Should he want to delete rows the current loop, which steps down throuigh the rows, is in danger of tripping up. The loop will need to step upwards through the rows with the likes of (untested):
Code:
For rw = 575 to 16 step -1
  If cells(rw,"AS").Value = "" And cells(rw,"AP").value = "" Then rows(rw).delete
next rw

Hmm, nice pickup
But post #3 says HIDE.
At least now both bases are covered.

Cheers
