If just the cell in column E

Sub ABC()
Dim i as Long, lastrow as Long
set lastrow = cells(rows.count,"L").End(xlup).row

Hi

Im sure someone can help me with this. I have created an input box for
some data pasted in from another program. Some of these lines are
headers and page breaks which I want to remove , I have got an if
statement to flag each line with a Y if it needs deleting and for one
line I can use

If Range("L6") = "Y" Then

Range("E7:E28").Select
Range("E7:E28").Cut Destination:=Range("E6:E27")

End If

the next one would be

If Range("L7") = "Y" Then

Range("E8:E28").Select
Range("E8:E28").Cut Destination:=Range("E7:E27")


End If

etc


Is there a way of getting the macro to run automatically for all 20
lines, rather then just having 20 or so of the above

thanks in advance Will


That second one looks like what I'm after, I tried pasting it in, and
it gives a compile error, object required, with "lastrow =" highlighted
on the line set lastrow = cells(rows.count,"L").End(xlup).row

any ideas what I need to do to fix it?
