    Macro can see the formulas and thus cells are not empty

    Hi guys,

    Here's the macro:

    =========================================================
    Sub Macro1()

    Dim i As Long

    'Range("A9:J2000").Select

    For i = Selection.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
    If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Selection.Rows(i)) = 0 Then
    Selection.Rows(i).EntireRow.Delete
    End If
    Next i

    End Sub
    =========================================================

    ..unfortunately cells with no values but only with formulas in them are being treated as non-content-free and are not being removed.

    Generally what I'm looking for is a quickest macro to remove all rows that are empty (not even single cell in the row has any value), any help very appreciated.

    Try this:

    Sub Macro1()
    
    Dim i As Long
    Range("A9:J2000").Select
    
    For i = Selection.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
    RowValues = Rows(i).Value
    For Each StrValue In RowValues
        If StrValue <> "" Then
        Rows(i).Delete
        Exit For
        End If
    Next StrValue
    Next i
    
    End Sub

    Thanks for reply, unfortunately it deletes wrong rows and also rows outside the defined range (4 rows above row 9).

    Sorry, thought you wanted to delete the rows with values.
    Changed it to the ones with no values.
    Above 9 is solved by setting the loop to 9, change if you need to.

    Sub Macro1()
    
    Dim i As Long
    Range("A9:J2000").Select
    
    For i = Selection.Rows.Count To 9 Step -1
        'Get all values from row
            RowValues = Rows(i).Value
        'Loop through values and combine them into 1
            For Each StrValue In RowValues
                CombinedRowValues = CombinedRowValues & StrValue
            Next StrValue
        'If the combined value is still empty, delete the row
            If CombinedRowValues = "" Then
                Rows(i).Delete
            End If
        'Reset value
            CombinedRowValues = ""
    Next i
    
    End Sub

    Yeah that works fine - thanks a lot.

    But.. your method takes same amount of time to sort out given range as method I am using currently. They are both quite slow.

    My goal is to find much faster method.

    For i = Selection.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1 
        If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Selection.Rows(i),"<>") = 0 Then 
            Selection.Rows(i).EntireRow.Delete 
        End If 
    Next i
