                  Suppose you receive a list of data that contains blank rows that you want to remove without affecting the order of the list. This technique will allow you to delete all rows that have blank cells in a particular column. Just follow the simple steps
  1. First, before you make any drastic changes to any workbook always make sure you have a backup copy or a recently saved copy in case you need to restore the original data .
  2. Now, select the cells in one column from the top of your list to the bottom.
  3. Make sure that all the blank cells in this selected range are the rows you want to delete.
  4. Press the F5 key on your keyboard (or select Edit, Goto).
  5. Click the Special... button.
  6. Click the Blanks option and click OK. This will select all blank cells in the range you had previously selected.
  7. Now choose Edit, Delete, select the Entire Row option and click OK.
