Also when I try to e-mail the spreadsheet as an Excel attachment, it completely changed the format and doesn't even look like a spreadsheet. If we hop down to the bottom of the sheet, then back up to the bottom row, we can see that we have over 36,000 rows, and several thousand of these rows are empty. Sure, we could just work our way through the list, deleting those empty rows one by one. But that will take a long time, and it won't be any fun at all. So let's look at a really fast way to do it using Excel's GoTo Special command. To start off, select the entire first column. Then select Edit > Go To., and click the Special button.
