I have written code to delete that rows from row 2 onwards from sheet 3 where there ia nothing in COl A

when Running the macro I get run time error "For without Next"


It would be appreciated if someone could kindly amend my code




Code:
 Sub Delete_Blank_Row()
Dim lr As Long, I As Long, R As Long

lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
  For I = 3 To Worksheets.Count
 For R = lr To 2 Step -1
   
With Worksheets(I)

    If Range("A" & R).Value = "" Then
        Rows(R).Delete
    End If
    
End With
Next R

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
You are missing the "Next I" statement (you have 2 "For" statements, but only one "Next" statement).
(Sometimes the error messages are helpful and tell you exactly what is going on!);)

Thanks for the help


I have amended my code as below

Code:
Sub Delete_Blank_Row()
Dim lr As Long, I As Long, R As Long

lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
  For I = 3 To Worksheets.Count
 For R = lr To 2 Step -1
   
With Worksheets(I)

    If Range("A" & R).Value = "" Then
        Rows(R).Delete
    End If
    
End With
Next R
Next I

End Sub



However, If col A is blank from row 2 onwards, the row is now deleted



Please check my code and kindly amend

Isn't that what you are asking for?

From your original post:
I have written code to delete that rows from row 2 onwards from sheet 3 where there ia nothing in COl A

You might need to be more detailed in your explanation.

Hi Joe


If for eg A2 is blank, then row 2 to be deleted, if A5 is blank, then that row to be deleted etc

For rows that have data in them, will one column always have data (like column D)?
I am trying to ascertain which column I can look at to determine where your data actually ends on each sheet.

It looks like you are trying to use column A, but that is a problem if column A is blank.
And, you are only doing it on the sheet that you start on, not on each sheet (the calculation needs to be within your loop).

If column D is the column you can use to locate the last row, this code should do what you want. If not, just change "D" to the appropriate column reference:
Code:
Sub Delete_Blank_Row()

    Dim lr As Long, I As Long, R As Long

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    For I = 3 To Worksheets.Count
        lr = Sheets(I).Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
        For R = lr To 2 Step -1
            If Sheets(I).Range("A" & R).Value = "" Then
                Sheets(I).Rows(R).Delete
            End If
        Next R
    Next I

    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

I have used Col P to find the last row as that will always have data in
