Compressing sparse data

I have a bunch of rows that yield results in the last column that in
many cases are blank or zero. I would like to be able to view the
results of only those cells that are non-blank, and show them on
another worksheet page. Copying the whole column would of course keep
the data spread out over lots of rown. Is there a way to somehow
remove the blanks? I've tried thinking about a VLOOKUP for non-blank
data, but that still is row by row.

Thanks for any help.

- Pete

Re: Compressing sparse data

Thanks. The problems with AutoFilter is it ends up sorting the whole
page. I would like to be able to group the results in a single column
on any page, without it affecting the other columns of that page. I'm
thinking that I may need to operate on this as an array somehow, does
that make sense?
