    Unhappy Shade all Blank rows in Range

    I have a range with blank rows as separators. I want to shade all the blank rows. Is there a way to do this?

    Something like this:
    [VBA]
    Sub Macro1()
    Columns("A:A").Select
    Selection.AutoFilter
    Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="="
    Rows("1:19").Select
    With Selection.Interior
    .ColorIndex = 15
    End With
    Selection.AutoFilter
    End Sub
    [/VBA]regards,

    This might not be the best way to do this...uses the used range and looks in column A to see if there is anything there....if not the row gets highlighted:
    [VBA]Sub test()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
    Dim lastrow As Long, r As Long
    lastrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
    For r = lastrow To 2 Step -1
    If UCase(Cells(r, 1).Value) = "" Then
    With Rows(r).Interior
    .ColorIndex = 6
    .Pattern = xlSolid
    End With
    End If
    Next r
    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End Sub
    [/VBA]

    Here's another way:
    [VBA]
    Sub Macro1()
    Dim Rng, MyCell As Range
    Dim lRow As Long
    lRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
    lCol = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count
    Set Rng = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(lRow, lCol))
    For Each MyCell In Rng
    If MyCell = "" Then
    MyCell.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 15
    End If
    Next MyCell

    End Sub
    [/VBA]Regards,
    Simon

    [vba]Sub MarkRows()
    Dim cel as Range
    With ActiveSheet
    For Each cel In Intersect(.Columns(1), .UsedRange).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks)
    If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountBlank(cel.EntireRow) = 256 Then
    cel.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
    End If
    Next
    End With
    End Sub

    Why not use CF
    Select the entire sheet with A1 active. In CF, choose "Formula Is" option
    =COUNTA(A1:IV1)=0
    If you only use columns A:R then change it to
    =COUNTA(A1:R1)=0
