Identify rows containing no data in order to 'import' data to main spreadsheet

Hello,


This is my first post so apologies if I make a complete hash. I'm working on a large spreadsheet 14,000+ rows and have just discovered the original CSV that I was sent had some formatting errors and when converting columns to text some chunks of data were left out. Having already done quite a bit of work on the main spreadsheet, cleansing data etc I need to add in the missing data from the original CSV. The additional data only occupies a small proportion of the rows and I need to find a way to either eliminate the blank rows or join it in in some clever manner. I've spent a while scouring the internet but have found nothing that fits the bill as I need to maintain the 'index' column so I can join the right extra bits to the original I've been working on.


I hope this somehow makes some sort of sense to someone!
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Are you able to provide a snapshot of the data or the file via dropbox/google drive? It's difficult to suggest a solution without seeing how it's arranged
