Remove blank rows in table
Step 1: Make a helper column in the table where you check for any blank fields in that row. For example, if you had 3 columns in your table: A (Price), B (Quantity), and C (Cost), you would add a fourth column D and label it "Any Blanks?". The equation would be =IF(OR(ISBLANK([@Price]),ISBLANK([@Quantity]),ISBLANK([@Cost])),"Yes","No")
That would give you a column to filter to view all the blanks.
Step 2: In VBA you would then do the following:
Range("MyTableNameHere").AutoFilter Field:=Range("MyTableNameHere[Any Blanks?]").Column, Criteria1:="Yes"
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Range("MyTableNameHere").ListObject.DataBodyRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Range("MyTableNameHere").AutoFilter Field:=Range("MyTableNameHere[Any Blanks?]").Column
This essentially is filtering to the rows you want to delete in the table using the helper column, selecting all the visible data in the table, and unfiltering the table. I was searching around how to delete all visible rows in a table and found this and fiddled around until I figured out that this would work. Taking that and combining it with a helper column to select all rows with any blanks seems like what you were wanting as well.
You actually can do it in one pass, but need to use the ListObject
object and its DataBodyRange
and ListColumns
properties:
Sub ClearBlankCellsInColumnNew()
Dim rngBlanks As Excel.Range
With Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("Table1")
On Error Resume Next
Set rngBlanks = Intersect(.DataBodyRange, .ListColumns("New").Range).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not rngBlanks Is Nothing Then
rngBlanks.Delete
End If
End With
End Sub
Nice question! Without a table, .EntireRow.Delete
always works, but inside a table it looks like as it doesn't.
This works:
Sub Test()
Dim Rng As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set Rng = Range("Table1[[New]]").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
On Error Goto 0
If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
Rng.Delete Shift:=xlUp
End If
End Sub
