[ExcelVBA] Sorting an Unknown Range

 

I have a situation where I will be importing multiple worksheets from a mainframe computer where the mainframe programmer spaced out the data into every other row for readability online. However, in Excel it would be best to eliminate the blank rows.

 

From what I can see, the best method is to select the range and sort it after defining my header rows.

 

That works great until I want to automate via VBA.

 

This is what I attempted which does not work :(

 

Sub GetRidBlankRow()
Dim r As Range
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim x As String

    x = "July"
    Set r = Range("a1")
    LastRow = Cells(Rows.count, "a").End(xlUp).row

    Range("A1").Select
    Range(Selection, ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Select
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(x).Sort.SortFields.Clear
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(x).Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range(r, r.End(xlDown)), _
        SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(x).Sort
        .SetRange Range(r, r.End(xlDown)).Resize(, 4)
        .HEADER = xlYes
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With
End Sub
