Default How do I delete blank rows (rows alternate data, blank, data, etc

I am looking for a shortcut to delete multiple blank rows (rows alternate as
follows: data, blank, data, blank, etc.) Is there a way to delete the blank
rows between the data rows without having to select each row individually
using CNTRL-C?

Selecting all of your data and sorting it by any of your columns
should move all of the blank rows to the bottom.

you could also use the autofilter to filter for blanks, then delete the
filtered rows, turn off autofilter.

or, select one of your columns, Edit/Goto/Special - blanks, which will
select the blank cells and then delete the rows.

be sure to keep a backup before you try any suggestion that is new to you
(if your data is important, you should already have it backed up).
