Hello,

I am looking for a macro that deletes table rows that are completely empty.



Thank you,

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Assuming your table is on the active sheet.
And assuming your table is named: MyTable
Modify script to change Table name
Try this:
Code:
Sub Check_Table()
'Modified 4-19-18 5:35 AM EDT
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ans As Long
ans = ActiveSheet.ListObjects("MyTable").DataBodyRange.Rows.Count
With ActiveSheet.ListObjects("MyTable").DataBodyRange
    For i = ans To 1 Step -1
        ans = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(.Rows(i))
            If ans = 0 Then ActiveSheet.ListObjects("MyTable").DataBodyRange.Rows(i).Delete
        Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Thank you, you are correct, my table is on the active sheet.
I pasted your code in a module and changed the table name in the code,
but my empty rows are still there, do you have an idea what I could be doing wrong?
Thanks!

With ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Data").DataBodyRange
    For i = ans To 1 Step -1
        ans = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(.Rows(i))
            If ans = 0 Then ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Data").DataBodyRange.Rows(i).Delete

See if this acts differently on your table
Code:
Sub DelTableRows()
  Dim i As Long
  
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  With ActiveSheet.ListObjects("MyTable").DataBodyRange
    For i = .Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
      If .Rows(i).Find(What:="?*", LookIn:=xlValues) Is Nothing Then
        .Rows(i).Delete
      End If
    Next i
  End With
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I have no answer.
My script works for me.
Maybe you have spaces in your cells you cannot see.
