Greetings,

I;m using Excel 2007 and I have a very big excel file that was imported from access database and has a lot of blank rows that I tried to delete. I used the following Excel built in method :

F5 ->Special ->Blanks (blank cell will be highlighted)
Ctr+ 9 to hide the rows -> select visible command (to select only visible rows)

Ctr +C and Ctr+V to a new worksheet.

It works fine, except I noticed for few columns in the end, the associated records were missing.

can this be corrected w/o recording a Macro?

By the way, how do you attach a sample file to the forum?

Thank you in advance.

hi,

I'd turn on the Auto Filter and select BLANKS to hide all rows with data.

Thne select the BLANK ROWS, right-click and DELETE.

Skip,
