Delete blank rows Macro

Using MS Excel 2000.
Help creating a macro please.

I need to search the range A1:A10000 and if the cell is blank I want to
delete the entire row.

Thanks in advance.

Something like

Sub DeleteRowsIfBlank()
Dim lrow as Long
For lRow = 10000 to 1 step -1
If IsEmpty(Range("A"&lrow)) then Range("A"&lrow).Entirerow.Delete
Next lRow
End Sub

Probably not the most efficient code but should work I think. You may want
to specify the worksheet object in which Range resides, for safety.

Does it have to be a macro?

Sort the data by columnA and then the blanks will be at the bottom, then
select these rows and delete.

If you need a macro post back and we'll go that route

Additionally, if you want the data back as it was pre-sort then run an index
down a blank column by entering a 1 in the top cell, 2 in the next, then
select both and double click the 'fill handle'. (Square in bottom right of
second cell)
