Using the excel sheets to record data does not necessarily mean that all the rows or columns must have data in them. At times we may fail to collect data from the field and so on that particular day the cells will be empty or blank.
It will be the viewers' will to either keep the empty rows or delete them permanently. If the data is recorded based on the time that is the days, then deleting the blank rows will confuse the data but if there is no track of time, you can erase the blank rows.
Deleting the blank rows makes the excel sheet look more presentable without blanks in it. In the case where you have many empty rows, you can erase them at a go rather than deleting row after a row.
The following are some of the steps and ways to delete the rows that contain data in them.
They include;
Step 1
