    Pasting data into excel gives extra blank rows

    Hello,

    I am new to a role and am trying to make things somewhat easier...

    We have a website that we need to extract data from, however, the 'export data' option does not paste in the format required, so it is being copied (ctrl c & ctrl v) onto a blank excel spreadsheet.
    I have attached a sample of the data being extracted and I believe the reasoning behind the extra lines lies in the columns G & H (I think) - where there are multiple comments from the nurse, they seem to go into separate lines, but then at the bottom there is also an extra row that is blank. Every row is over 2 rows, some are over 3 depending on what is in column H.

    I have tried Find and Select and remove blanks, however, that just deletes all of it.
    Some of the data we extract has over 200 rows of data so deleting each row individually just isn't an option.

    The company that created the website that we extract the data from have said there is nothing they can do from their end, so I am hoping and praying to the Excel wonders that someone out there might have a suggestion!

    I would be eternally grateful and I think it would earn me some proper kudos if I can solve this nightmare!

    Thanks in advance you wonderful bunch of humans

    Administrative Note:

    Welcome to the forum.

    Is your forum profile showing ONLY the oldest Excel PRODUCT that you need this to work for?

    Members will tailor the solutions they offer to the Office PRODUCT (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date in this respect. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your product is for Mac, please also state this.

    The three most recent Excel products are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the version number in your profile (e.g. MS365 Version 2306). This is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.

    Thanks.
