Default Find a text

To Dave: Aw crap! Of course you are right... I just went too fast in trying
to modify what the OP posted. Thanks for catching this!

To Geir: Use Dave's code... it will be faster than any loop that looks at
all individual cells in the range.

This may miss consecutive rows with that value in it. If I were looping
through
the range, I'd either start at the bottom and work my way toward the top.

Or build a range to be deleted and delete it after all cells are compared.

I think you may be looking for this...

Sub FindText()
Dim Cell As Range
For Each Cell In Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, Columns("E"))
If InStr(1, Cell.Value, "Samtals hreyfing:", vbTextCompare) Then
Cell.EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next Cell
End Sub
