Hi, I have tried searching for this answer on google but can not find a solution. I think this is mainly because I am having problems using to right words to explain my problem.

Anyway, my problem is this, I have a spreadsheet that imports data from cell F7 to F998 (these are 6 digit numbers) columns B, D, H and J use vlookup using that the value in F to populate data from another spreadsheet. In columns L:Y there is manually input data (single numbers) All columns B:Y have auto filters applied (which helped keep the data in the rows aligned before)

If the imported data contains blank rows then Excel is currently deleting the cells in column F in which columns B,D,H and J react and change accordingly. In Columns L:Y (which contain the manually input data) the rows are not deleted which results in every time the imported data is refreshed, the data in L:Y becomes misaligned with the data in B D H and J.

Is there a way (Settings or VBA) to get excel to delete the entire row if the data in B,D,H and J is blank? (really only needs to check if column B is blank)

the spreadsheet contains staff names, teams and employee numbers (imported data) and their skill sets are marked with a 3 if they are skilled in that area, left blank if not (manually input data) so the data in all columns need to be locked together, so that if a person is removed from the imported data, then the entire row will be deleted, if a new person is added then a new row will be inserted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
