Hi Friends,

How to delete the blank columns in all worksheets in an Excel, and how to delete the periods which occurs in the 1st ("A") column using coding.

Do a Find and Replace on column A, but be sure to copy from one of the cells as they are ellipsis (...) not dots

To delete the blank cols



Public Sub ProcessData()
Dim Lastcol As Long
Dim i As Long

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

With ActiveSheet

Lastcol = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column

For i = Lastcol To 2 Step -1

If .Cells(3, i).Value = "" Then

.Columns(i).Delete
End If
Next i
End With

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
