Look also at Specialcells, faster.
Sub DeleteRowsWithText()
'This macro delete all rows with a blank cell in column A
'If there are no blanks or there are too many areas you see a MsgBox
Dim CCount As Long
On Error Resume Next
With Columns("A") ' You can also use a range like this Range("A1:A8000")
CCount = .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues).Areas(1).Cells.Count
If CCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "There are no blank cells"
ElseIf CCount = .Cells.Count Then
MsgBox "There are more then 8192 areas"
Else
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues).EntireRow.Delete
End If
End With
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Sub Loop_Example()
Dim Firstrow As Long
Dim Lastrow As Long
Dim Lrow As Long
Dim CalcMode As Long
Dim ViewMode As Long

'Sheets("MySheet")if you want
With ActiveSheet
'We select the sheet so we can change the window view
.Select
'If you are in Page Break Preview Or Page Layout view go

ViewMode = ActiveWindow.View
ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView
'Turn off Page Breaks, we do this for speed
.DisplayPageBreaks = False
'Set the first and last row to loop through
Firstrow = .UsedRange.Cells(1).Row
Lastrow = .UsedRange.Rows(.UsedRange.Rows.Count).Row
'We loop from Lastrow to Firstrow (bottom to top)
For Lrow = Lastrow To Firstrow Step -1
'We check the values in the A column in this example

Using Excel 2000. I want to loop through column A of my worksheet and if
the contents are text, I want to delete the row. Tried all sorts of
suggestions on the web but can's seem to get Istex working.
Any suggestion welcome. Thank, Rob
