One way. Modify to suit
Sub usearrayforOR()
myarray = Array("a", "b", "c")
For Each x In myarray
'If ActiveCell = x Then MsgBox "delete it"
'yours
If startb.Offset(i, 0)= i Then rows(i+1).Delete
Next
End Sub

Is there a better way to write these statements

Sub usearrayforOR()
myarray = Array("a", "b", "c")
For Each i In myarray
If ActiveCell = i Then MsgBox "delete it"
Next
End Sub
If startb.Offset(i, 0).Value = "AC03" Then startb.Offset(i,
0).EntireRow.Delete
If startb.Offset(i, 0).Value = "AC05" Then startb.Offset(i,
0).EntireRow.Delete
If startb.Offset(i, 0).Value = "AT01" Then startb.Offset(i,
0).EntireRow.Delete
If startb.Offset(i, 0).Value = "CF01" Then startb.Offset(i,
0).EntireRow.Delete
If startb.Offset(i, 0).Value = "CP01" Then startb.Offset(i,
0).EntireRow.Delete
If startb.Offset(i, 0).Value = "DB01" Then startb.Offset(i,
0).EntireRow.Delete
If startb.Offset(i, 0).Value = "DG" Then startb.Offset(i,
0).EntireRow.Delete
If startb.Offset(i, 0).Value = "DSK01" Then startb.Offset(i,
0).EntireRow.Delete
If startb.Offset(i, 0).Value = "FT080" Then startb.Offset(i,
0).EntireRow.Delete
