Question:

This works well, but I have many cells that use if statements to read info from other sheets. It goes something like this:
"If this certain cell from this certain sheet is blank, do nothing, else do this"

So many cells are "blank" but contain formulas in them. How can I select all the rows that "appear" blank and delete them?

I had over 200k rows in my spreadsheet so the technique above did not work for me. What I did do however is just a simple find and replace of blank rows into a unique tag. Then after sorting, I simply deleted all rows with that tag.

You could just use Autofilter and pick (Blank) from the column header and then highlight / delete the blank rows that way.

Yes, this won't work if you select the entire spreadsheet. Try only selecting one column that you know has data in every column you need saved. Then follow the steps above to delete the empty rows.

Agree with Lee, can try sorting data on spreadsheet then all blank rows will be together where they can be deleted

Bob — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 08:36:56 -0000

Sorry... agree with Lee, all rows with blanks are deleted and this is not what I want

I used Data > Remove duplicates" It leaves you with only 1 blank row. This of course assumes you have no other duplicates.

incorrent... it selects all empty _cells_, not rows, and then deletes any row that has at least one empty cell
