This is very simple code.

Sub deleteR1R3()
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
If (LastRow = 1) And IsEmpty(Range("A1")) Then
Cells(3, "A").EntireRow.Delete
Cells(1, "A").EntireRow.Delete
End If
End

I want to delete row 1 and 3 if column A is blank. This script checks the
whole sheet and deletes every row if column A is blank. I only want to
delete 1 and 3 if A is blank. For safety sake how can I change the range to
get the union of column 1 and 3 only and delete them? It shouldn't check row
2 only rows 1 and 3.

thanks,
