Delete Blank Rows in Excel
Did you know that you can delete blank rows in Excel?

  • Select your data
  • Press F5
    This opens “Go to” dialog in Excel. Now hit on that “select” button.
  • From “select special” screen, select “Blanks” (shown aside)
    Now, all the blank cells will be selected.
  • Just press CTRL and Minus sign (-)
  • Select “shift cells up” or “entire row” as needed.
That is all. Now you have successfully removed blank rows.
Bonus tip:
If you are looking for keyboard short-cut for this, here it is. Press them in the same order once you select the cells.
  • F5 ALT+s k Enter CTRL+ – u Enter
