Here is the current code with all comments and suggestions implemented.
The
code does nothing now )-:

Sub FormatCFTCFile()

' figure out what row is the last row of data
Finalrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Finalcol = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlLeft).Column
' loop through all rows from row 2, where data starts, to the final row
but
starting in final row and working up
For x = Finalrow To 2 Step -1
Select Case Cells(x, 1)
'check for commodity names that we want to keep the data from

I made the changes which all make sense but the loop is still continuous
and
debugger said its breaking on the End Select at the bottom

When deleting rows you have to step backward from last row to first
row. If
you delete row 5 then what was row 6 becomes row 5 and you will skip
processing the orignal row 6 becasue the for loop went to the next row.
See
code below. I simply changed the For statement. I also made the code
more
readable.

You also have to add the bold for each case, otherwise, only one case
will
get higlighted
