Dear all,
I have a cal sheet with some data as below
A B C
1 data1 data2 data3
2 data4 data6
3 data7 data8 data10
I want to delete whole row2 when there is a empty data in B2:
A B C
1 data1 data2 data3
2 data7 data8 data9
Please help…
Thank you so much.
A low-tech solution that could work over many rows, very quickly and very easily:
(1) Make sure your row 1 is a “header” row, select and enable Data > Filter > AutoFilter. You’ll get something like this:
(2) Now click on the filter toggle in Column B and select the “empty” check box, so that only those rows with an empty cell in the B column will be active:
(3) Now select those rows:
(4) With the rows selected, right-click in the row number gutter and choose the “Delete selected rows” option:
(5) Now click on the Column B filter toggle again, and this time select “All” to remove the filter:
(6) Result: rows with empty cells in Column B are gone, total operation time is just a few seconds:
Row data of course remains intact, so there’s no need to worry about sort-order with this method.
There’s more than one solution to this problem, and the best one for you depends on the nature of your data, etc. Hope this helps.
Elegant solution!
I’d do it with a countblank() function in column D. Then sort for D and delete all rows that have a higher value than 0.
If the initial order is to be preserved, simply add a counter (1,2,3,…) before you sort. Remember to sort all(!) coloums. If you want to have the initial order back, simply sort for you counter column.
30 seconds and you are done.
