Delete Blank Rows
The obvious way to remove blank rows from a data set is to simply sort the data. This moves the blank rows to the bottom of the data and “removes” them. But what if you want the blank rows removed, however you don’t want the data sorted? VBA is one method of doing this, or you can delete blank rows using the COUNTA Function and deleting filtered cells.
The following macro will remove blank rows without any sorting (turn off screen updating to go faster).
Sub DeleteBlankRows()
Dim x As Long
With ActiveSheet
For x = .Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row To 1 Step -1
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(.Rows(x)) = 0 Then
ActiveSheet.Rows(x).Delete
End If
Next
End With
End Sub
