I have a macro with:
"If ((Rows(y).Cells(3)) > 10) Then"

and it works fine unless I try it on a spreadsheet with blanks in cell(3). then I get a "runtype error 13 . type mismatch"

How can I check for blanks and get rid of them before they cause this problem?
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().

try:
If (isnumeric((Rows(y).Cells(3))) > 10) Then

Sorry, my mistake, should be:

If (isnumeric(Rows(y).Cells(3)) then
If ((Rows(y).Cells(3)) > 10) Then
