    Wink Compress a column

    I have a column of numerical values and random empty or null value cells. I want to compress the column so I only retain the numerical values without losing their sequence. Ideally if there was a function like "delete row" where you check for null value cells and delete the appropriate row. Macros won't work because the column sequence changes whenever worksheet is activated

    Thank you

    Try this:

    Select the cells from top of the list to the bottom of the list
    Edit>Go To>Click:Special Cells>Select:Blanks....Click [OK]

    Edit>Delete>Entire Row

    Does that help?

    Regards,
    Ron

    Set up autofilters and select (blanks) from the pull-down list on the
    column. Then highlight all the displayed rows which have been filtered
    (row indicator shows as blue) and Edit | Delete Row. Select (All) from
    the pull-down filter list and you will have what you have asked for.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete
