As a mental exercise, I wish to employ straight-down (as opposed t
back-up) loop to delete blank rows. Further, I wish to deploy
construct where all cells that qualify (ie blank) are agglomorated an
deleted in one fell swoop at the end of the looping. As the code wil
not be repeatedly deleting during passes in the loop, some preciou
time will be gained to improve time efficiency. My effort thus far ha
produced the following code which fails to "gather" the qualifyin
cells.

Sub DeleteBlankrw()
Dim rng As Range
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Range("a1:a" & [a65536].End(xlUp).Row)
If IsEmpty(c) Then
Set rng = c
Set x = Union(rng, c)
End If
Next
MsgBox x.Address
x.Delete
End Sub

Any help will be appreciated

Instead of using a For Each loop, use the SpecialCells property.

Dim rngAll as Range
Dim c as Range

set rngAll = Range("a1:a" & [a65536].End(xlUp).Row)
set c = rngAll.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)

etc.

Many thanks Tom. I knew I was missing a bit of logic somewhere in the
setting of my range object and which you've masterfully supplied. I can
now proceed and translate the idea of "one-off" mass action (not
necessarily for deletions) in some projects.


And thanks Eric for the input. I however cannot see how the use of
Specialcells can demonstrate the use of overtly "pooling" like cells
together. If my understanding of Specialcells method is correct, it
does so but only implicitly or covertly. Thus,
*Range("a:a").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Entir eRow.delete* will
pick out all blank cells in one fell swoop and delete them. There is no
place for direct "pooling"which was the object of my exercise.
