VBA if A = B and C= Text - vba

Question

I have been looking on stackoverflow but could not get an definitive answer to my little problem. I am fairly new to coding and am still dealing with syntax sometimes.
Right now I have a little loop reading an array, inside the loop it checks for an if statement. I have been checking the loop which works fine, and the array as well. The if statement works until im starting to use "isText".
After searching a bit I noticed "isText" is not a function, is there something equivalent?
Right now my if statement goes as follows: IF A = B and C (Contains ANY value at all) then Write something somewhere in a cell
Right now the code I am using is:
Sub KnopKlik()
Dim Soorten(10)
Dim Teller As Integer
Dim Column1 As String
Column1 = Sheets(2).Range("C1").Value
MsgBox (Column1)
Sheets(1).Select
Range("E2").Select
For Teller = 0 To 10
Soorten(Teller) = ActiveCell.Offset(Teller).Value
Next Teller
For Teller = 0 To 10
If Sheets(2).Range("B9") = Soorten(Teller) And Application.IsText(Column1) Then
MsgBox ("Check")
Sheets(2).Range("E9").Value = ActiveCell.Offset(Teller, 3)
Sheets(2).Select
Range("B9").Select
Teller = 10
Else
End If
Next Teller
End Sub
Right now the last part of the if statement is the problem
And Application.IsText(Column1) Then
EDIT**
This is how I solved it now. Basically whenever there is ANYTHING at all in that cell it will pass through.
If Sheets(2).Range("B9") = Soorten(Teller) Then
'Als B9 Gelijk is aan (database) DAN!>>>
If Not Column1 = "" Then
Sheets(2).Range("E9").Value = ActiveCell.Offset(Teller, 3)
End If
Else
End If
Thanks in advance.

You can do it like this:
If Sheets(2).Range("B9") = Soorten(Teller) And Len(Trim(Column1)) > 0 Then
The len will return the length of the string. The Trim will remove the empty spaces from left and right, thus if it is an empty string it will be true.
