    Is there a way to delete rows in excel where the first 3 cells are blank?

    Hi, i have downloaded an txt file to excel and i only need certain rows, there are misc rows below the ones i need where the first three cells are always blank, id like to delete those rows entireley, if i sort the file it still takes a while because then i have to look thru it i was wondering if there was an easier way? (maybe, maybe not?) to automatically delete all rows where the first three cells are empty??
