I have a field of 30 lines by 3 columns. Based on other data on the
page none of the lines may have data while as many as 30 of the lines
may have data. the data all flows into other areas and into charts.

I need a way even if it means importing the data in to another
worksheet or cells, to condense the data to eliminate the blank lines
WITHOUT running a macro.

Example: I need:

A B C D
1 17642 1 78.44% TOTAL SALARIES & BENEFITS
2 468 4 2.08% 31 SUPPLIES
3
4 32 7 0.14% 33 SUPPLIES-ISSUED FROM INVENTORY
5 1160 3 5.16% 34 SERVICES
6

10
11
12
13 56 6 0.25% 3D TRAVEL OTHER THAN TRAINING
14
15
16
17 2692 2 11.97% 3H VEHICLE MAINTENANCE SERVICES
18
19 29 8 0.13% 3K CARFARE & TOLLS
20

23
24
25 411 5 1.83% 42 UTILITIES & HEATING FUEL
26
27
28
29
30


To turn into:

A B C D
1 17642 1 78.44% TOTAL SALARIES & BENEFITS
2 468 4 2.08% 31 SUPPLIES
3 32 7 0.14% 33 SUPPLIES-ISSUED FROM INVENTORY
4 1160 3 5.16% 34 SERVICES
5 56 6 0.25% 3D TRAVEL OTHER THAN TRAINING
6 2692 2 11.97% 3H VEHICLE MAINTENANCE SERVICES
7 29 8 0.13% 3K CARFARE & TOLLS
8 411 5 1.83% 42 UTILITIES & HEATING FUEL


I need this to occur automatically because it has to function for
novice users that won't even know how to do a sort.

Don:
I guess the easist way to do this would be to go to Data / Filter /
Autofilter. Make sure your cursor is on A1.
Then in the drop-down box of the auto-filter, select (Non Blanks), and
you will get ONLY those rows, which are non-blanks.

Regards,
S.

This won't work. It needs to be an automated process and this is only
a very small portion of a much larger spreadsheet. I can't apply a
process that would affect the remainder of the worksheet.
