Hello,

Beginner at VBA here. Was wondering if someone could simply explain to me what the differnece is between:
If ActiveCell = " " Then ActiveCell = 0
Else ActiveCell.Offset(1,0).Select

V.S.

If ActiveCell = '' Or ActiveCell = " "
Then ActiveCell = 0
Else ActiveCell.Offset(1,0).Select

Thanks you!
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
I'm afraid neither set of code will compile so I'm not sure how they can be compared.

Is this perhaps what you wanted to compare?
Code:
If ActiveCell = " " Then
    ActiveCell = 0
Else
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If

' VS

If ActiveCell = "" Or ActiveCell = " " Then
    ActiveCell = 0
Else
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If

If it is then the only difference is the second If statement is checking if the active cell is empty or contains a space.
