Default How do I remove numerous blank rows from Excel spreadsheet?

Data is imported from an external source and contains numerous blank rows
within the data. How can I remove the blank rows without having to select
each one? There are sometimes hundreds of them. Thanks!

Another option...

Select your data and sort it by a column that always has data--except for the
rows that are blank.
