I have two data tables that I want to write on two separate sheets in one XLSX file using openxlsx package. I can write one of them and then load the workbook to add the other table, but that complicates matters (I am also assigning dynamic names to the XLSX files).

Blank Xlsx File Download

However, currently I am unable to initiate a blank workbook (to add the sheets one by one), and cannot find any solution anywhere. Probably I am missing something very trivial, but presently I am at my wit's end. Please help.

How can I insert a blank row or column into an Excel sheet, moving the data already contained in the sheet down or to the right, as needed? My pre-existing tables are linked to graphs in the Excel, so the new columns/rows need to be inserted in the middle to preserve the graphs.

I have tried to achieve this using createRow (from xlsx package) but got the following error message: "Error in .jcall(sheet, "Lorg/apache/poi/ss/usermodel/Row;", "createRow", : RcallMethod: cannot determine object class".

I have a workflow with many 0 (= zeros), the data type for these columns are "Double". 

I want to ouput my file in .xlsx (basic Excel format) but I want all the 0 replaced by a blank. 

I want to keep the data type as a number and not a string.

Tried googling and nothing really applies. I've been successful in exporting xls/xlsx from SQL Dev before...just yesterday, exported a 3k row xlsx. But then later in the day, couldn't do it again, even with lesser results (1k this time). I can see the query results, everything looks fine, I export, I see the file gets created in my directory, open it up, and it's blank. Only 3-4kb files too.

@Splash_of_Red Funny enough, I had this same thing happen to me every week when converting my week-ending report on Microsoft Word into a PDF file. What worked for me was to go to Page Layout, highlight the area I wanted to print (All cells and content), then select "Set Print Area". Prior to that, I was paying for Adobe just to be able to remove blank pages as needed - but alas, I can cancel my unnecessary subscription. Hope it helps! :)

I am creating an Excel e-mail attachment. Everything is working wonderfully except for one minor issue. The first row of the Excel file that is being attached is blank. The internal table that is populated with lines that ultimately go into the Excel file has data in the first row. I'm not quite sure what I need to do to remove that blank line.

Has anyone else had a problem with blank placeholders not coming through in the extract file? For example, a numerical invoice beginning with a zero "0123" will come over as 123. We also have function codes such as "00" or "01" which come over as blank or "1." We import our data into Microsoft NAV Ceres and it will not accept a blank or 1, since they must match our function code list in our accounting system. I was told that the extract file cannot be changed, and it's a pain to filter through all the invoices and change them individually. Also, Ceres will only accept .xlsx (NOT .xls) formats, so we already have to copy and paste from the .csv file Concur exports. Our Concur Coach told us to just change the format of that column, but but this does not actually change the data stored and still will not import. I've had to insert a formula to fix the function codes, and it seems like much more work than it should be. Has anyone found an easier way? I've attached screenshots to better understand the issue.

I checked mine as well... it appears to be Excel "helping" that is causing the issue of the dropped leading zeros. Assuming this a repetive process.... can you just VBA macro the creation of the .xlsx file from the .csv file?

In this quick tip I will explain why deleting Excel rows via select blank cells -> delete row is not a good idea and show you 3 quick and correct ways to remove blank rows without destroying your data. All solutions work in Excel 2021, 2019, 2016, and lower.

If you are reading this article, then you, like me, are constantly working with large tables in Excel. You know that every so often blank rows appear in your worksheets, which prevents most built-in Excel table tools (sort, remove duplicates, subtotals etc.) from recognizing your data range correctly. So, every time you have to specify the boundaries of your table manually, otherwise you will get a wrong result and it would take hours and hours of your time to detect and correct those errors.

There may be various reasons why blank rows penetrate into your sheets - you've got an Excel workbook from another person, or as a result of exporting data from the corporate database, or because you removed data in unwanted rows manually. Anyway, if your goal is to remove all those empty lines to get a nice and clean table, follow the simple steps below.

This is a very bad way, use it only for simple tables with a couple of dozens of rows that fit within one screen, or better yet - do not use it at all. The main reason is that if a row with important data contains just one blank cell, the entire row will be deleted.

Further in this article I will show you 3 fast and reliable ways to remove empty rows from your Excel worksheets. If you want to save your time - go straight to the 3rd way.

Remove blank rows using a key columnThis method works if there is a column in your table which helps to determine if it is an empty row or not (a key column). For example, it can be a customer ID or order number or something similar.

This formula, as its name suggests, counts blank cells in the specified range, A2 and C2 is the first and last cell of the current row, respectively.

Copy the formula throughout the entire column. For step-by-tep instructions please see how to enter the same formula into all selected cells at a time.

Now we have the key column in our table :). Apply the filter to the "Blanks" column (see the step-by-step instructions above) to show only rows with the max value (3). Number 3 means that all the cells in a certain row are empty.

Then select all the filtered rows and remove whole rows as described above.

As a result, the empty row (row 5) is deleted, all the other rows (with and without blank cells) remain in place.

Now you can remove the helper column. Or you can apply a new filter to the column to show only those rows that have one or more blank cells.

To do this, uncheck the "0" checkbox and click OK.

The fastest way to remove all empty rows - Delete Blanks toolThe quickest and impeccable way to remove blank lines is to the Delete Blanks tool included with our Ultimate Suite for Excel.

That's it! Just a few clicks and you've got a clean table, all empty rows are gone and the rows order is not distorted!

Blank File:

As mentioned above, the blank file export is expected behavior and cannot be changed.

Workaround to ensure column headers are included even if the report does not have any matching data:

I'm working on an excel template in nprinting (june 2019). The report has 2 pages, the problem is, when I preview the report in PDF between the two pages of the report, I have 2 blank pages I don't know how to delete.

When you open an Excel spreadsheet, your system sends a dynamic data exchange (or DDE) to Excel. If there are multiple programs receiving and using the same DDE, it will confuse your system, and Excel will open a blank document. To prevent it, you should disable DDE for other apps.
