If you have a full spreadsheet with all rows occupied (65,536 rows) is there any quick way of deleting every second row.
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Hit Alt+F11 to access VBA code. Then choose Insert: Module.

Type this code

Sub RemoveEvens()
Range("A65536").Select
Do While Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
ActiveCell.EntireRow.delete
ActiveCell.Offset(-2,0).Select
Loop
End Sub

This will start with the last row and delete every other row assuming there are no blank cells in Column A.
