Hi

I wish to delete columns from column "E" onwards which have no value on rows
8 and 9. Also I would like to place a "thick box border" around rows 6 to 10
up to the and including the last column with data.

Thanks

Hi manfareed, try the following. This assumes Excel to 2003, and that at
least the last row of the sheet is empty

Sub deleteCols()
Rows(1).Insert
Set myrange = Range("E1:IV1")
myrange.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(AND(LEN(R9C)=0,LEN(R10C)=0),1,"""")"
myrange.Value = myrange.Value
myrange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlNumbers).EntireColumn.Delete

'Loop for now, but could Select A1 and save WB, then use special cells to
find LastCell
For c = 255 To 1 Step -1
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range(Cells(2 , c), Cells(65536,
c))) < 0 Then
lastcol = c
Exit For
End If
Next

Rows(1).Delete
Range(Cells(6, 5), Cells(10, lastcol)).BorderAround , xlThick,
xlColorIndexAutomatic
End Sub

Hi Roger,

I get an error- "sub or function not defined".

Sorry - that's my comment at

find LastCell

The word wrap has broken the comment line & tuned it into code. Comment that
line out & try again.

Hi Roger,

This works but causes another problem.When deleting the columns it deletes
some of the headings which are in rows 6+7. Would it be possible to copy the
row headings from rows 6+7 to the next "blank" column to the right i.e. it
contains data in rows 7 to 9 but has no heading detail in rows 6+7.

It follows that if there are 2 blanks columns after the row heading then it
should be copied to the next to these blank cells. Eg if "Birmingham" row 6
and "060300" is row 7is in column E and F&G are blank then it should be
copied to F&G.

Thanks,

Manir

Rows 6 + 7 appear to be project creep!

We don't usually like attachments, but can you attach a *CSV* version of a
portion of your sheet? Please make sure you state clearly the starting cell
of the CSV (I'd prefer it to be A1, but if it isn't please advise).

Regards

Test this on a copy of your sheet.

Sub cleansheet()
Dim j As Long, i As Long
j = 0
For i = 256 To 5 Step -1
If Application.CountA(Cells(8, i).Resize(2, 1)) = 0 Then
Columns(i).EntireColumn.Delete
Else
j = j + 1
End If
Next
ActiveSheet.UsedRange
With Cells(6, 1).Resize(5, 4 + j)
.BorderAround Weight:=xlThick
End With
