Hi all, I have found the below macro to remove blank rows in a sheet. I run it, however it does not remove the blank rows (but tells me that it has).
I think I need to set the range. I have added a Range called 'Blank_Cells' but I don't know how I add this into the code, can anybody please help?
Thanks.

Sub DeleteBlankRows()
Dim Rw As Range
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Selection) = 0 Then
MsgBox "No blank rows found", vbOKOnly
Exit Sub
End If
With Application
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Select
For Each Rw In Selection.Rows
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Selection.EntireRow) = 0 Then
Selection.EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next Rw
.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
MsgBox "Blank Rows Removed"
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.

The macro code is needing you to highlight a range first:

Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Select

"Selection" is the indicator for you to select a range first.

I just numbered Col A .... A1, A2, A3 ..... A26, A27

I made A11 blank ... highlighted A1:A27 and ran the macro. It deleted Row 11 from the Col.
