The CompactUp(CompactLeft) method:
Delete the rows(columns) of a specified range matching a filter
expressed as a formula applied on each row(column).
The deleted cells can span whole rows(columns)
or be limited to the width(height) of the range.
The execution of the method has no effect on the
current selection.
Args:
Range: the range in which cells have to be erased, as a string
WholeRow(WholeColumn): when True (default = False),
erase whole rows(columns)
FilterFormula: the formula to be applied on each row(column).
The row(column) is erased when the formula results in True.
The formula shall probably involve one or more cells of
the first row(column) of the range..
By default, a row is erased when all the cells
of the row(column) are empty,
i.e. suppose the range is "A1:J200" (width = 10),
the default value [for CompactUp] becomes "=(COUNTBLANK(A1:J1)=10)"
Returns:
A string representing the location of the initial range
after compaction, or the zero-length string if the whole range
has been deleted.
Examples for CompactUp():
newrange = oDoc.CompactUp("SheetX.G1:L10")
' All empty rows of the range are suppressed
newrange = oDoc.CompactUp("SheetX.G1:L10", WholeRow := True, _
FilterFormula := "=(G1=""X"")")
' The rows having a "X" in column G are completely suppressed
Both methods are available for use from Basic and Python scripts.
