Oct 18, 2018  I'm trying to remove duplicate rows in Mac Excel, but there may be one column of cells that doesn't match. I still want it to remove them, even if the value in that one specific column doesn't match. But when doing the sort be sure to choose the entire File. Then go to the Ribbon’s Data tab, find the Sort and Filter group, and click Sort. The first time you click this button, the sort is lowest to highest or alphabetical. Click the button again to sort highest to lowest or reverse alphabetically. Don’t click the column letter before sorting.

Sometimes you have a large list that contains empty rows, and you need to remove these rows in order to clean up the list. You could delete the rows one by one, but that's going to take a long time, especially if you have lot's of blank rows. In today's ExcelJet tip, we'll show you a cool way to delete blank rows, even hundreds or thousands of blank rows, in record time. Even better, with this tip, Excel does all the hard work for you. Let's take a look. Here we have a really big list that contains a lot of empty rows. If we hop down to the bottom of the sheet, then back up to the bottom row, we can see that we have over 36,000 rows, and several thousand of these rows are empty.

Sure, we could just work our way through the list, deleting those empty rows one by one. But that will take a long time, and it won't be any fun at all. So let's look at a really fast way to do it using Excel's GoTo Special command.

To start off, select the entire first column. Then select Edit > Go To., and click the Special button.

Select 'Blanks' and click OK. Excel has now selected all of the blank cells in our first column. Now carefully right-mouse click on one of the empty calls, and choose Delete.

From the menu. Then select Entire row, and click the OK button. Now we have a clean list with no blank lines.

If we hop down to the bottom of the list, there are a little more than 33,000 rows, which means we just deleted over 3000 empty rows! In a future tip, we'll show you how to use this same approach to remove non-blank rows with missing values. See you next time.
