How to check if Generic Value Variable is Nothing

Help StudioX

I am reading an empty cell form excel storing its value in a variable of generic value datatype. I am checking if this variable is empty or not in if else. However, I have tried multiple solutions from other UiPath community posts but nothing is working. Constantly getting the following error: Else If-cont start date: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

ContStartDate is my generic value variable.

Hi @anushka.prasad

Try this following way:
ContStartDate is of DataType UiPath.Core.GenericValue

If ContStartDate Is Nothing OrElse Object.Equals(ContStartDate, "") 
Then
    LogMessage("ContStartDate is either null or empty.")
Else
    LogMessage("ContStartDate has a value: " & ContStartDate.ToString)
End If
