My problem is that I am using a macro to copy data from one workbook and to
paste into the next, however along with the data I need come about 30,000
blank rows, making the file large.

I could use Go Toblanks and Delete the 30,000 once pasted but that takes
alot of time to sit through.

Idealy I could use Go To(Insert something that selects only non-empty cells)

And then copy/paste that into the new workbook.

Are the rows really blank ? and are they between the data or below the data

You can use AutoFilter in the code and filter for non blanks and copy to the other sheet

They are blank and they are below all of the data, I would need an example
autofilter line, because I am having trouble executing it manually and do not
physically write the macro but act it out and make small edits if I have to.

Thanks

The blank fields are blank and below all the of the data I need (not mixed in
between)

I would need an autofilter example, because I can't actually execute it,
unless I am missing something and do not write the macros myself, just make
them and do small edits.

OK, try this for column A on "Sheet1"
(A1 is the header cell of the column)


Sub Copy_With_AutoFilter1()
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim WSNew As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim rng2 As Range

Set WS = Sheets("sheet1") '<<< Change
'A1 is the top left cell of your filter range and the header of the first column
Set rng = WS.Range("A:A")

'Close AutoFilter first
WS.AutoFilterMode = False

'This example filter on the first column in the range (change the field if needed)
rng.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<" & ""

Set WSNew = Worksheets.Add

WS.AutoFilter.Range.Copy
With WSNew.Range("A1")
' Paste:=8 will copy the columnwidth in Excel 2000 and higher
.PasteSpecial Paste:=8
.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
.PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
Application.CutCopyMode = False
.Select
End With

WS.AutoFilterMode = False

End Sub
