VBA-Excel: Delete Blank Rows from Excel Work Sheet
ometimes deleting the blank rows from you Excel sheet is a tedious task to do especially when your sheet contains lots of data, say 10k-15k rows and having some blank rows in between and you need to delete these rows. Just imagine to delete these blank rows manually, but VBA Codes are life saver here.
Open a new Excel WorkBook and press “Alt+F11” to open the Visual Basic Editor
Copy Paste the following code
Sub FnDeleteBlankRows()
Dim mwb As Workbook
Set mwb = ActiveWorkbook
For x = mwb.Sheets("1").Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row To 1 Step -1
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(mwb.Sheets("1").Rows(x)) = 0 Then
mwb.Sheets("1").Rows(x).Delete
End If
Next
End Sub
Run the Macro
Explanation:
Dim mwb As Workbook
Set mwb = ActiveWorkbook
Getting the instance of Active WorkBook and storing it in WorkBook reference.
For x = mwb.Sheets(“1”).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row To 1 Step -1
Backward loop from row number where last cell is typed means last cell which contains some data to row number 1.
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(mainworkBook.Sheets(“MyFirstMacro”).Rows(x)) = 0 Then
mainworkBook.Sheets(“MyFirstMacro”).Rows(x).Delete
End If
Check whether Row is blank and if yes delete it.
Sub FnDeleteBlankRows()
Dim mwb As Workbook
Set mwb = ActiveWorkbook
For x = mwb.Sheets(“Sheet1”).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row To 1 Step -1
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(mwb.Sheets(“Sheet1”).Rows(x)) = 0 Then
mwb.Sheets(“Sheet1”).Rows(x).Delete
End If
Next
End Sub
