This appears to delete all the rows and not just the alternate ones as desired?

Hi
try the following macro:
Sub delete_rows()
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim row_index As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
lastrow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For row_index = lastrow To 1 Step -1
If row_index mod 2 =1 then
Rows(row_index).delete
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub



-----Original Message-----
I have a worksheet where I want to delete alternate rows.
i.e. rows
1,3,5,7,9.......... because they contain no data.
Currently I am holding the
control key and selecting every other row, then using the
delete row toolbar
button. However I have many worksheets to do.
I thought I'd create a macro to automatically hilight
alternate rows and
then just use the delete row button. I did create that
macro but when using
it, instead of hilighting the alternate rows from where
my cursor is inserted
it just hilights the same rows as when the macro was
created (i.e. the wrong
rows).
How can I set something up that allows me to hilight
alternate rows from
where I place my cursor.
