I have edited an excel worksheet by deleting rows of info. How do I get rid
of the empty rows
 
Hi Clbmgr

You can't delete the rows, but you can hide them if you want
Select the rows and in the menubar

Format>Row>Hide

Or
Ctrl -
 
Try this macro:




Public Sub DeleteBlankRows()

Dim R As Long
Dim C As Range
Dim Rng As Range

On Error GoTo EndMacro
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual

If Selection.Rows.Count > 1 Then
Set Rng = Selection
Else
Set Rng = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows
End If
For R = Rng.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Rng.Rows(R).EntireRow) = 0 Then
Rng.Rows(R).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next R

EndMacro:

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

End Sub



This will delete ALL completely blank rows in a workbook. If even one cell
contains info in the row it will not be deleted.

Do you mean you "cleared contents" on these rows and now you want to eliminate
the empty rows?

Select a column and F5>Special>Blanks>OK

Edit>Delete>Entire Row

Maybe you could just sort by a column that always has something in it if the row
is used.
