here's the issue: I'm trying to delete all the rows which
start with "total:" and "subtotal:" in column A. I had to
use 2 loops because when there is a subtotal row directly
followed by a total row, the total row is "skipped". I'm
not sure that I'm making myself very clear but any help
would be appreciated... Ideally I'd like to replace the 2
loops by 1.


Here's what I have so far:

sub delRows()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Range(Range("a1"), Range("a1").End
(xlDown)).Cells
If c.Text Like "SubTotal*" Then
c.EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next c

For Each c In Range(Range("a1"), Range("a1").End
(xlDown)).Cells
If c.Text Like "Total*" Then
c.EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next c
end sub
