How does this solution work for you ...
Begin Unverified Perl

 my $i=1;

 for($i=1; $i<=10; $i++)
  {
   if(length(GETVALUE("C3_r".$i."_c1"))>0)
    {  
     ADD("C3xR1",$i);
    }  
  }

End Unverified

It applies a more efficient loop approach and uses the "length" function.

And I believe your script is not working because the operator should be "ne" rather than "!=". Perl uses "eq" for equal and "ne" for not equal" when comparing strings in conditional script such as this example you presented.

it's working :)
Did you try the loop method or just change your script?

Both will do the job.
using the loop method.
Good one. Glad to see you got it working.
