Answer 2

This code is essentially the same as @Tony's, but it doesn't use any extra cells.

Dim counter As Integer, i As Integer
counter = 1
For i = 1 To 10
    If Cells(i, 1) <> "" Then
        Cells(counter, 1) = Cells(i, 1)
        counter = counter + 1
    End If
Next i
For i = counter To 10
    Cells(i, 1) = ""
Next i

There is no chance of losing data, as there are blanks in the original, so that counter is always less than or equal to i . The last for..next loop clears any remaining visible previous data.

All you need to do is:

• Select column A:B
• Go to ribbon > Start
• Under editing > Search & Select
• Click > Select Special
• Click > Blanks

Now all your empty cells should be selected

• Hit Ctrl - and shift cells up.
