Step 8

You may have rows that are blank. These will have “No Entry” as the default text in the first column. You will want to delete them, and the easiest way to do this is to edit the content of the spreadsheet on your portal page or in the app itself. You sort the first column (either ascending or descending, it doesn’t really matter), and then you find all the “No Entry” rows. You can then easily delete multiple rows at once.
