I need to clean a database
I have rows without any data in them throughout my database. Can I do a
simple function to delete the empty rows between my data to clean up my list in excel. Second question, on the same database I have an column that consists of name address city and zip. Is there a way to run a formula to separate these values into their own rows. |
I need to clean a database
Highlight column A and click Data | Filter | Autofilter. From the
filter pull-down, select Blanks. Then highlight row 2, hold down <Shift, press <End followed by <Down-arrow, then release <Shift. Click Edit | Delete Row, then select All from the filter pull-down. You might want to remove the filter. If you have spaces separating each item, then you could highlight the column and use Data | Text-to-columns, specifying a space as the delimiter. Ensure that you don't have any data in columns to the right of the one highlighted. This is not foolproof, however, as you may have some entries with 2 and others with 3 names, or some addresses with 2, 3 or 4 words (each of which will go into a new column). Hope this helps.
