Default A way to delete when 2nd column is empty

Hi

I am hoping someone will be able to help me. I have managed to put the code in which allows me to delete the code if the entire row is empty but would like to modify it if the 2nd column is empty it will delete as well.

I have attached a copy of the table so you can see what I am trying to do and any help would be appreciated as I have tried to manipulate it numerous ways.

Sub DeleteEmptyTablerowsandcolumns()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Tbl As Table, cel As Cell, i As Long, n As Long, fEmpty As Boolean
With ActiveDocument


For Each Tbl In .Tables
n = Tbl.Columns.Count
For i = n To 1 Step -1
fEmpty = True
For Each cel In Tbl.Columns(i).Cells
If Len(cel.Range.Text) > 2 Then
fEmpty = False
Exit For
End If
Next cel
If fEmpty = True Then Tbl.Columns(i).Delete
Next i
Next Tbl
End With
With ActiveDocument
For Each Tbl In .Tables
n = Tbl.Rows.Count
For i = n To 1 Step -1
fEmpty = True
For Each cel In Tbl.Rows(i).Cells
If Len(cel.Range.Text) > 2 Then
fEmpty = False
Exit For
End If
Next cel
If fEmpty = True Then Tbl.Rows(i).Delete
Next i
Next Tbl
End With
Set cel = Nothing: Set Tbl = Nothing
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Deleting empty table rows is far simpler than what you're using. For example:
Code:
Sub DeleteEmptyRows()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Tbl As Table, r As Long
For Each Tbl In ActiveDocument.Tables
  With Tbl
    For r = .Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
      With .Rows(r)
        If Len(.Range.Text) = .Cells.Count * 2 + 2 Then .Delete
      End With
    Next
  End With
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
To delete a row if a cell in a specified column (in this case column 2) is blank:
Code:
Sub DeleteEmptyRows()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Tbl As Table, r As Long
For Each Tbl In ActiveDocument.Tables
  With Tbl
    For r = .Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
      With .Rows(r)
        If Len(.Cells(2).Range.Text) = 2 Then .Delete
      End With
    Next
  End With
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
PS: When posting code, please structure your code properly and use the code tags, indicated by the # button on the posting menu. Without them, your code loses much of whatever structure it had
