REMOVING A HUGE AMOUNT OF BLANKS ROWS

M

I tried to use "F5, Special, Blank, okay, Edit, Delete, Entire Row" but it
tells me " Selection to large" and stops.

With the blank rows going every other one, the file is 15850 rows long, only
3 columns wide.

Is there a formula that will handle such a large amount of rows?

Seems easiest to just highlight the workbook and sort by a column. Then,
blank rows would be at bottom and you can delete in one fell swoop. Is that
an optin for you?

Sean,

You've made my afternoon, thank you kindly..
I've gone from 15850 to 2746.
