Ron,
What is the significant of having
.DisplayPageBreaks = False
in the code.
Regards,
Cecil

Hi Jeff

This example will ask your for the criteria and it will
look in the Activecell column

Sub Delete_row_test()
Dim Lrow As Long
Dim CalcMode As Long
Dim StartRow As Long
Dim EndRow As Long
Dim findstring As String

With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With

findstring = InputBox("Enter a Search value")
If Trim(findstring) < "" Then

With ActiveSheet
.DisplayPageBreaks = False
StartRow = 1
EndRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, ActiveCell.Column).End(xlUp).Row
For Lrow = EndRow To StartRow Step -1
If IsError(.Cells(Lrow, ActiveCell.Column).Value) Then
'Do nothing, This avoid a error if there is a error in
the cell

ElseIf .Cells(Lrow, ActiveCell.Column).Value = findstring
Then .Rows(Lrow).Delete

End If
Next
End With
End If
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.Calculation = CalcMode
End With
End Sub

I need to delete entire rows if certain criteria exist. I used Ron de
Bruin's macro (great macro Ron, thanks) and it worked fine.
The problem is, I receive multiple downloads usually about 10,000 rows
long each. I do not want to go in and change the code for
each different download, as I would probably hose it up. I tried to enter
the code in VB to have input boxes for what column to look
in and what to look for, but I am not that versed in VB. Can someone get
me started in the right direction? Below is the code from
Ron de Bruin.

Sub Delete_row()
Dim Lrow As Long
Dim CalcMode As Long
Dim StartRow As Long
Dim EndRow As Long
With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With

With ActiveSheet
.DisplayPageBreaks = False
StartRow = 1
EndRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For Lrow = EndRow To StartRow Step -1
If IsError(.Cells(Lrow, "A").Value) Then
'Do nothing, This avoid a error if there is a error in
the cell

ElseIf .Cells(Lrow, "A").Value = "ron" Then
..Rows(Lrow).Delete
'This will delete each row with the Value "ron" in
Column A, case sensitive.

End If
Next
End With
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.Calculation = CalcMode
End With
End Sub
