Hi, Can someone please help me with following. Need a macro to remove random blank rows in the column R in the sheet “sheet2”. Once the blank rows removed, add alternate blank rows so that the final result is non blank rows separated by a single blank row. Thank you,

    Dim rngCell As Range

    lRow = GetLastCell(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, xlByRows).Row

    Set rngSource = Range("R1", Cells(lRow, "R"))

    For Each rngCell In rngSource.Cells
        If IsEmpty(rngCell.Value) Then
            If Not rngUnion Is Nothing Then
                Set rngUnion = Union(rngUnion, rngCell)

        End If
    Next rngCell

    If Not rngUnion Is Nothing Then
        rngUnion.EntireRow.Delete
    End If


    For i = rngSource.Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
        Rows(i).Insert

Thank you so much. It works but sometimes it is erratic and does not clean up between last two entries. For example, see the large gap between h and i in the following example. TY so much.

The image you attached shows data in column K, while my code operates on data in column R.

Sorry for the confusion. I ran the code in 365 but had not activated XL2Bb so copied in to 2010 version and sent. Sorry for the confusion.
