Default Can I delete blank rows from excel without selecting them?

I have a similar problem with an import into Excel2007. 45,000+ rows
populating just col A & B and I wish to delete only rows where both col A and
col B are blank. I tried modifying the sub below to the range "A:B" but
deletes everything. Can someone help?

The easiest way is to select all the cells and then sort, which puts blanks (depends on what you
mean by NULL values) to the bottom. Of course, if you sort, that would change the order, so
sometimes a macro like this might be better, which will delete any row where column A is truly
blank:

Sub DeleteRowsBasedOnBlankCellsInColumnA()
On Error Resume Next
Columns("A:A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Enti reRow.Delete
End Sub

I exported data from a Crystal Report into Excel. During the export process
extra fields and and columns were added to the data set. I would like to
delete the blank rows that were inserted between every record from my
spreadsheet.

Is there a way to delete extra rows from a spreadsheet without selecting
each row? For example, could I run a script to delete rows with null values
or space?

Thanks
