If you are willing to write the formula, then copy/paste values, sort to move the blank rows to the bottom, you can get away with a formula. Or rather 3 formulas. Assume the data is in Sheet 1 in cols A, B, C, starting on row 2, with column titles in row 1 on both sheets. In sheet 2, write the following formulas: A2: =If(C2="","",Sheet1!A2) B2: =If(C2="","",Sheet1!B2) C2: =if(isnumber(Sheet1!C2),Sheet1!C2,"") Copy the 3 formulas down as far as you need. Select the formulas, copy them, then Paste Special/Values. This will convert the formulas to values. Sort the range by Col C and the cells with numbers will sort to the top.

I have a sheet of items (rows) where for each row there may be a quantity needed or not. For each row that has an amount needed, I need to create another sheet with ONLY the rows where there is an actual need with the quantity needed, item name and state. Here is sample data of the listing in Worksheet A: Name State Qty Apples WA 5 Oranges FL Car MI 8 Furniture VA 3 Corn IN Notice that the Qty is empty in many of the rows. Desired output on Worksheet B: Name State Qty Apples WA 5 Car MI 8 Furniture VA 3 So the output does not include the empty quantity records. I've tried various vlookup formulas and others and am just having a hard time. I'd prefer to do this with a formula rather than macro or such. Any help would be appreciated.

So the output does not include the empty quantity records. I’ve tried various vlookup formulas and others and am just having a hard time. I’d prefer to do this with a formula rather than macro or such. Any help would be appreciated.
