Deleting columns
I have range say c150:x200. Row 150 contains names, and the lower rows, data.
How do I delete the columns in the range without data (deleting also the name). The deletion is to apply to the range not the whole spreadsheet. |

Deleting columns
Hi,
Depending on how your data is layed out this could be a real problem, but lets assume that when all columns that are blank are blank in all the cells in the column except the name at the top. 1. Select all the data 150x200 2. Press F5, Special, Blanks, OK 3. Press Ctrl+- (control minus) and choose Shift cells left. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Barry Lennox" wrote: I have range say c150:x200.

Deleting columns
Hi Shane
Thanks, but because of the information in row 150 the whole column is not blank. I need the data in that row to relate to what is in the column below it. I could move it all to another sheet and delete the whole column, but I am wondering if it can be done without this.

Deleting columns
Sounds like creating a DataList for C150:X200 may work.
You can delete rows and columns within a List without affecting rows and columns outside the List. You need 2003 or 2007 to create a List. Earlier versions don't have this feature.
