3 Right Ways to Delete Blank Columns in Excel

In this video, I will show you 3 different methods you can use to quickly delete blank columns in Excel.
I am also going to cover one additional method that works well but needs to be used cautiously, as it can lead to issues
00:00 Intro
00:25 Delete Blank Columns using SORT method
03:12 Delete Blank Columns using Find & Replace method
05:55 Delete Blank Columns using VBA
10:07 Delete Blank Columns using Go To Special (NOT recommended)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is the VBA code I used in the video:
'Code Developed by Sumit Bansal from TrumpExcel.com
Sub DeleteBlankColumns()
Dim EntireColumn As Range
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
For i = Selection.Columns.Count To 1 Step -1
Set EntireColumn = Selection.Cells(1, i).EntireColumn
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(EntireColumn) = 0 Then
EntireColumn.Delete
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

You are clicking on entire colum,and saying entire row in vedio

[@scottwilkerson1208]

Why would I need a 13 minute video to delete a single blank column between six columns? I could just highlight the column, right-click, delete. I'm trying to get rid of the thousands, literally INFINITE columns to the right of my data. Why can I not find a single video on how to do this, and why does Excel make it nearly impossible to do unless you are an Excel MASTER???

[@trumpexcel]

Deleting a few columns can be done manually, but it's tricky when you have too many blank columns interspersed in the data. I agree, would have been better if there was an in-built way (like remove duplicates), but till we get it, these are the only ones I could figure out
