Macro Running Opposite of Intended

This is my macro:

Sub Macro()
Dim rng As Range


Set rng = Range("B1:B5")


If IsEmpty(rng.Value) = False Then
MsgBox "Run Macro"
Else
MsgBox "Cells are Empty"

End If


End Sub

But when the cells are empty, instead of getting "Cell are empty" i get "Run Macro". When cells have contents, I get "Cells are empty".

If I change it to IsEmpty = True, the opposite of my intended result still happens.

Why?
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.

The problem is that you get the value of several cells rather one cell. You must iterate over all cells in B1:B5 and test each cell in this range for emptiness or use worksheet function:
Code:
[COLOR=#333333]Sub Macro()[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]
   Dim rng As Range[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]   
   Set rng = Range("B1:B5")
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]   If [/COLOR]WorksheetFunction.CountA(rng) > 0[COLOR=#333333] Then[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]      MsgBox "Run Macro"[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]   Else[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]      MsgBox "Cells are Empty"[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]   End If[/COLOR]

End Sub
