Okay so everybody knows how to delete mass empty rows via the go to special blank option. But how can I delete only the duplicate empty rows? EG:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]7[/TD]
[TD]7[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]9[/TD]
[TD]8[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]8[/TD]
[TD]8[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

so above turns into:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]7[/TD]
[TD]7[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]9[/TD]
[TD]8[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]8[/TD]
[TD]8

[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Assuming blanks in Column A equate to blanks in other columns, here is a macro that should do what you want...
Code:
[table="width: 500"]
[tr]
	[td]Sub LeaveOneBlankRow()
  Dim Ar As Range
  With Range("A1", Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
    For Each Ar In .SpecialCells(xlBlanks).Areas
      If Ar.Rows.Count > 1 Then Ar.Offset(1).Resize(Ar.Rows.Count - 1).EntireRow.Delete
    Next
  End With
End Sub[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

HOW TO INSTALL MACROs
------------------------------------
If you are new to macros, they are easy to install and use. To install it, simply press ALT+F11 to go into the VB editor and, once there, click Insert/Module on its menu bar, then copy/paste the above code into the code window that just opened up. That's it.... you are done. To use the macro, go back to the worksheet with your data on it and press ALT+F8, select the macro name (LeaveOneBlankRow) from the list that appears and click the Run button. The macro will execute and perform the action(s) you asked for. If you will need to do this again in this same workbook, and if you are using XL2007 or above, make sure you save your file as an "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm) and answer the "do you want to enable macros" question as "Yes" or "OK" (depending on the button label for your version of Excel) the next time you open your workbook.
