Default adding lines of code to a macro to delete rows

Hi,

How about this

Sub Clear_Junk()
Dim FirstRow As Long, LastRow As Long
With Worksheets("Sheet2") 'Change to suit
With .Range("a:a")
Set Marker = .Cells.Find(What:="Grand", _
After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False)
End With
End With
FirstRow = Marker.Row
LastRow = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Rows(FirstRow & ":" & LastRow).ClearContents
End Sub

Hello:

As the last step of a macro that I have written, I need all rows at the end
of this spreadsheet to be deleted. (The rows at the end of the spreadsheet
have bogus data, and I need to get rid of all of those rows and leave just
rows of "real" data--long story short.)

Specifically, the row after the last row of "real" data is a cell in column
A that simply contains the word "Grand". How do I put in code at the end
that says "delete all rows at the end of this spreadsheet beginning with this
last row that contains just the word 'Grand' at the end of column A"?

At the moment, "Grand" is in cell A667. But, that is not going to be the
case everytime that I run this macro for this data. Next time, "Grand" could
be in cell A748, A901, A820, who knows?.......So, I cannot simply put in code
that says "delete all rows at the end of this spreadsheet beginning with the
row at cell A667".

Thanks!
