I couldn't reply earlier as I had the i-net down. At the end I manage to
find
a solution.:


'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
' this part transform the links in normal test and substitute #N/A with
blank cell

'---------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------
Cells.Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.Replace What:="#N/A", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
ReplaceFormat:=False
End Sub

'--------------------------------------------------------
'and this one remove all the blank cells
'--------------------------------------------------------
Sub Macro02()
Dim Rng As Range, Rng1 As Range

Set Rng = Range("b1:b10000") '<<====== CHANGE to suit

On Error Resume Next
Set Rng1 = Intersect(Rng, _
Columns("B:B").SpecialCells(xlBlanks))
On Error GoTo 0

If Not Rng1 Is Nothing Then Rng1.EntireRow.Delete

End Sub

it might not be a masterpiece of VB but it works fine. It was the first
time
I putting my hands on a macro...

now I need to apply this macro to different files. What I have done at the
moment is:
I have a blank excel file with the macro recorded. Then I open the files I
need to work on and I run the macro from tools/macro. Is there a finer way
to
make this macro working for the files? Other people should work with this
file and I was hoping to find a better solution.

cheers




Thanks for your help

For i = 10000 To 7 Step -1
If IsError(Cells(i, "B")) Then
If Rng1 Is Nothing Then
Set Rng1 = Rows(i)
Else
Set Rng1 = Union(Rng1, Rows(i))
End If
End If
Next i

If Not Rng1 Is Nothing Then Rng1.Delete

End Sub

I think Sandy's doesn't work because he is going top-down, and the
pointers
get out of sync, which is why I went bottom up.

I have tried both of the methods that you have suggested but
unfortuantely
no
one works.

The one from Bob returns me Compile Error: Syntax error and it gets
stuck
while the one.

and yours it works only partially, meaning that it deletes some rows
but
not
all and it deletes also the ones with the relevant information i
want to
keep.

any idea why?
thank you

This one will work too...

Sub DeleteRow()
Dim MyCell As Range
On Error Resume Next
For Each MyCell In Range("B1:B10000")
If CVErr(MyCell) = CVErr(xlErrNA) Then
MyCell.EntireRow.Delete
End If
DoEvents
Next MyCell
End Sub

Hi,
I need a macro that check the values of a column (let's say B)
which
has
links to another sheet. in case the cell is equal to "#N/A" I
want to
delete
the whole row.

I have a macro that works fine if the cell is empty (see below)
:
'=======================
Public Sub Tester02()
Dim Rng As Range, Rng1 As Range

Set Rng = Range("b7:b10000") '<<====== from b7 to b10000

On Error Resume Next
Set Rng1 = Intersect(Rng, _
Columns("B:B").SpecialCells(xlBlanks))
On Error GoTo 0

If Not Rng1 Is Nothing Then Rng1.EntireRow.Delete

End Sub
'<<=======================




I have tried this one below but it doesn't work.
'=======================
Public Sub Delete_empty()

If IsError(.Cells(Lrow, "b").Value) Then
'Do nothing, This avoid a error if there is a
error in
the
cell
ElseIf .Cells(Lrow, "b").Value = "#N/A" Then
.Rows(Lrow).Delete
'This will delete each row with the Value "ron"
in
Column A,
case sensitive.
End If



End Sub
'<<=======================

any suggestion?

thankx
