    Need help please with code to delete rows where a specified cell is blank

    Hi guys

    I hope someone can help me with this.

    I recently received help from anther forum member to complete a project I was working on, and got stuck.

    Basically... there is various info in a worksheet, that is copied to another worksheet. Since the data that is being copied is filled with formulas, when it is pasted, only the values are pasted.

    Now I have 2 columns that needs to be checked for "blanks" but for some odd reason, the blanks in column "H", even though it shows nothing, excel does not pick it up as a blank.

    The columns I want to be checked for blanks are columns A and H.

    I have searched the forum, and read multiple thread, trying to find a solution, but there is only 1 formula I could find that works for column H, but it takes forever to complete.

    There is approximately 14000 lines that gets copied, but I need to delete the blanks in column H.

    The 2 codes I used is as follows:

    Like i said, the formula for column H works, but it takes a very long time to complete. Is there any way to make it run smoother/quicker?

    The sheet that needs to be evaluated is attached as sample.xlsx

    thank you for any input.

    WOW... thank you

    That did it.

    Wish I knew why it didn't pick up my cells as blanks though.

    Thank you very much for your help sir.

    Glad to help & thanks for the feedback.

    Where you have a formula that returns "" and you copy/paste as value you will end up with a Null String.
    If you put these 2 formulae in a blank cell
    =ISBLANK(H5)
    =LEN(H5)

    the first returns FALSE & the 2nd returns 0
    Which shows that the cell is not truly blank, however that can be dealt with by using

    This effectively "removes" the Null String
