I would tremendously appreciate help in coding a deletion of all blank rows
from all worksheets in all files within a certain directory.

I have code that merges multiple documents but I found that any blank row
will stop the merge at that point. The number of documents makes manual
deletion too costly in terms of time and effort.

I found the following code elsewhere for deleting blanks from a single
worksheet...can anyone tell me how to generalize this to multiple sheets &
multiple documents? Below I will include the code I have both for deleting
empty rows from a single sheet and for combining multiple sheets/documents.
I'll separate with a big ************************. Thanks!!!!

Sub DeleteEmptyRows()

Dim LastRow As Long, r As Long

LastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Row - 1 + ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For r = LastRow To 1 Step -1
If Application.CountA(Rows(r)) = 0 Then Rows(r).Delete
Next r

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
