Hi,
I used the following algorithm to identify empty rows (contains value deleted cells). within the main program it is used to by pass the empty rows in an excel sheet.
If some one has a better solution please do share it with us.
Program to identify empty rows
{color:#3366ff}BEGIN
row -> Instance of the row iterator. Goes through each row.
cell -> Instance of the cell iterator. Goes through each cell.
isCellEmpty -> boolean value to assign status.
rowsToOmit -> An ArrayList which stores the omitted rows.
WHILE(Has another row){
get Cell Iterator of row
WHILE(Cell Iterator Has another cell){
IF(cell value == "")
then isCellEmpty is TRUE
ELSE{
then isCellEmpty is FALSE
BREAK
IF(isCellEmpty value is true)
Add row to rowsToOmit
END{color}
