    Filter BLank

    Hello,

    i did try to search, and was surprised i couldnt find it already asked in the forums. I am trying to filter rows that contain blanks cells in a specific column, there is a column header and i am able to use advanced filter for all the other criteria i need...... but nothing i have googled has been able to work......


    i have attached a picture of my criteria so far, and again it all works perfectly, I just cant figure out how to filter the frickin blank rows . Thanks.


    and using auto-filter is not an option for what i am doing .

    ....... k, im automating this for use by people who are not so good on the computer. all my many different filters are setup, like 6 or 7 different filters are run and copied to other worksheets, so i need to know the proper formula's for filtering blank cells in a column......


    added a picture of the actual list i am filter the data from.

    thanks.
