Default Removing Blanks

I have a set of data that has a blank in every other row. Is there a way to
remove these blanks ? I tried the paste special but to no avail.

Thank you in advance.

Default Removing Blanks

If you want to delete the rows where the cells are blank, try this:

Select from the first item in the list down to the last item (or blank)
Press the [F5] key (that's the short cut for <edit<goto)
Click the [special..] button
Check: Blanks
Click the [OK] button

WHILE the blanks are still selected
<edit<delete<entire row

Does that help?

Use a copy of your data first to experiment........
Highlight the dataset and SORT ascending on the column with the
blanks.........the blank rows will all go to the bottom of the list........
