Re: Deleting entire row and column

    You want to delete an entire row and column of what? The description, "a table", is not specific enough, as it could refer to an HTML table, a table of fields in a plain text file, an Excel table, an array, or something else entirely.

    As I'm sure others have suggested to you in the past: Provide provide minimal but sufficient sample input, code, and sample output. We'll take it from there in providing feedback and assistance.

      Output file Reg number output 2. Correct 4. Wrong Input file Blank box Blank box Reg number. Output 2. Correct 4. Wrong

      The input file is starting from cell (2,2) But I want to start from (1,1) cell. How to delete the first row and column entirely in excel file.

        In your programme, create a new worksheet and copy the current data into it as follows:

        Start reading at 1,1 in the original worksheet...
        ...only subtract 1 from both coordinates when you write to the new one, so you achieve the goal.

        After the new worksheet is done writing, delete the original,
        then rename the new one with the name of the original one.

        XLS or XLSX? What modules do you already use to process the Excel file?
