In addition to the VBA code itself, each macro is accompanied by a very specific explanation of how each application is structured and what the purpose of each statement is. Instead of trying to re-invent the wheel, in this tutorial I show you 5 of the most common examples of macros to delete blank rows or rows with empty cells quickly and easily. In fact, you can find many different suggestions online. There are several ways to create a macro that deletes blank rows or rows with blanks cells. You can do this, among others, using macros. The main point is: you want to be able to delete blank rows or rows that have blank cells quickly and easily. This includes, for example, when you import an Excel worksheet into other applications, such as Access.
Blank rows can generate several different problems. In this tutorial, I focus on a very “dangerous”, annoying and common situation when working with data: the existence of blank rows and cells in data sets. Data scientists spend a substantial amount of time collecting and preparing data.Īs you're probably aware, the process of cleaning up data with Excel can be automated to a certain extent using tools such as Text functions or macros. I’m not a Mac expert, so I don’t know what else might be causing the problem.You're probably aware of how annoying and time-consuming cleaning up data can be.
#EXCEL FOR MAC VBA TO CLEAR A RANGE UPDATE#
One of the affected people is running Catalina (10.15.3) and Excel for Mac 2019 (v16.35 - the latest update as of today’s date). Would anyone here happen to have any ideas? I thought about it being a permissions issue with writing to the above folder, but I had one of the affected people check the permissions of it, and they said it is set to ‘Read & Write’ - so that doesn’t appear to be culprit. But a few people are reporting the error, and I don’t understand what might be causing it. Also, many other people are using the workbook with no problems.
On all the Mac’s I have tested my workbook on, it works fine. (My code creates a new folder inside the Data folder, and then saves an Excel file into that new folder.) But my code is written to save the file in a particular folder that should always be accessible by Excel, regardless of the sandbox limitation: I know that starting with Excel for Mac 2016, Excel is “sandboxed”, meaning you cannot save files wherever you want via VBA code.
It only seems to happen on Excel for Mac 20. It does not appear that this error occurs on Excel for Mac 2011. Run-time error ‘1004’: Method ‘SaveAs’ of object ‘_Workbook’ failed. For a few people, when this moment occurres, the VBA code in the workbook generates an error. One of the things the workbook does is save a separate Excel file on the user’s computer in a very specific folder, the first time the file is opened on that computer. Thus, I am struggling to figure out what’s causing it. However, a few people on Mac are reporting an issue that I cannot reproduce on any of the Mac’s I have access to. I released the first version of the file publicly back in November, and for most people, it is working fine. I’ve created a Macro-Enabled Excel workbook for using on Excel for Mac & Windows. This is my first time posting on this forum, and I'm not sure if this is the correct place to put this.
