Your COUNTIF isn't working because the syntax isn't correct...
If CountIf(Cells(N, 16).Text) = "" Then
should be something like
If CountIf(cells(N, 16), Cells(N, 16).Text = "") Then
this probably wouldn't exactly work, but do a search in the help for COUNTIF and it'll show you the correct syntax...
Have Fun...
Be Alert, America needs more lerts
