Well I think there are two issues here: how to delete blank lines in Excel when you have an entire row that is blank and when you have only a column that has some blank cells in it.

So is there a method that works for both cases or are there different methods for each situation?

That is a long and complicated way of doing that. For an easier method, that also preserves your ordering, just highlight the target columns/rows and press F5, click on Special and select Blanks and OK. Now all the blank cells will be selected and ready for a simple right click delete and shift cells up.

Now wasn't that much easier than macros and sorting?

If you just select column B and press Sort, it usually asks you to expand the selection and will automatically add column A.

Same for when you want to sort again using column A…
