cells mandatory to fill

L

I am creating a file in where if a user fills one column, other three columns
should be filled also. Now, I have created a formula in where it checks that
all colums are filled; therefore, if one column has been filled and others
are missing it will tell me that 'some info missing'.
Then, I inserted a function "if" that will leave a cell in blank for that
row (=IF(S4="ok";"go ";" "), and I am trying to use the VBA instruction to
not let the user save this file without making the neccesary corrections, but
the VBA instruction seems not to recognize the " " marks as an empty cell,
what can I do?
thanks!

If a cell has anything in it including a formula or a null string, it isn't
empty.

Hi, then which command could I use so that when there is a null string the
user get's a message that some info is missing? And how should this be
inputted inside VB?

this is the code I am currently using:

Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In
Sheets("X340").Range("T4,T5,T6,T7,T8,T9,T10,T11,T12,T13,T14,T15,T16,T17,T18,T19,T20,T21,T22,T23,T24,T25,T26,T27,T28,T29,T30,T31,T32,T33,T34,T35,T36,T37,T38,T39,T40,T41,T42,T43,T44,T45,T46,T47,T48,T49,T50,T51,T52,T53")
If IsEmpty(cell.Text) Then
MsgBox "There is data missing" & cell.Address
Application.Goto cell
Cancel = True
Exit For
End If
Next cell

hope this helps!
