My Current VBA it works but 86 seconds for such a small amout of data to check, at a loss

VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Sub sbDelete_Rows_IF_Cell_Is_Blank1()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    Dim lRow As Long
    Dim iCntr As Long
        lRow = 1500
    For iCntr = lRow To 1 Step -1
    If Trim(Cells(iCntr, 1)) = "" Then
        Rows(iCntr).Delete
    End If
    Next

    Range("A2").Select
    Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A2:A1500"), Type:=xlFillDefault
    Range("A2:A1500").Select
        Range("B1").Select
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Thank you for your time

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Any reason that you cannot continue to use the code that "works in milliseconds" per your comment here?

Give this a try.

VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Sub sbDelete_Rows_IF_Cell_Is_Blank1()
    Dim i As Long
    Dim lastrow As Long
    lastrow = Cells(rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   
    For i = lastrow To 2 Step -1
        If Range("A" & i).Value = "" Then Range("A" & i).EntireRow.Delete
    Next i

    Range("A2").Select
    Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("A2:A1500"), Type:=xlFillDefault
    Range("A2:A1500").Select
    Range("B1").Select
   
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

BTW, isn't the bottom part of that code in post #1 just going to re-fill all those rows with formulas returning exactly what is in them now?

Are all the blanks together at the bottom of the other non-blank values in column A like your sample?

I thought the same, but figured this was just an example and maybe its required the real document?
