simple help needed please
 

i often get data with lots of blank rows between the data at random
intervals which i'd like to eliminate.

Does anyone know a good macro for deleting rows that can handle
"overlapping selections"- ie where the are groups of rows of data, then
rows of empty cells, then data rows, then empty for etc etc etc!

Thanks very much for any help

Select a column and EditGo ToSpecialBlanksOK

With blank rows selected EditDeleteEntire Row.

Turn on the Macro Recorder while you're doing this.

You could just sort the data then the empty rows will be at the bottom!

Wouldn't the easiest would be sort by blanks and just delete all blanks.
Or use a specialcells(xlblanks) macro to delte
