Hi Chip,
I am having another go at this.
I have modified your code slightly:
Sub AAA()
Const WHAT_COLUMN = "k"
Dim LastCell As Range
Dim FoundCell As Range
Set FoundCell = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Find("k")
If FoundCell Is Nothing Then
' not found. get out.
Exit Sub
End If
With ActiveSheet
Set LastCell = .Cells(.Rows.count, WHAT_COLUMN).End(xlUp)
.Range(FoundCell(2000, 1), LastCell).EntireRow.Delete
End With
End Sub
It works appart from it deletes the last row of data.
Is there some sort of an offset (Have I got that right) so that it wont
delete the last so many rows below the last value (10 rows for example)?
Many thanks
John

.Range(FoundCell(11, 1), LastCell).EntireRow.Delete
End With
End Sub
Change WHAT_COLUMN to the column in which the specified value ("abc"
in this example) is to be found.

Hi, Can anyone help with this. I need a piece of code that can delete all
rows in one swoop, working from the last/end row to the 10th row below a
given column with values in it. I hope I explained that okay. Help greatly
appreciated
