Hi

If it is A1 on each sheet that is wanted, then after the line
ws.activate
Range("A1").Select

With the code I just posted:

I select a cell (A1). Inside the cell is the word yellow.

I start the macro and I get a popup window - "Enter Search Column" - which
shows (A) being the selected column.

I click OK.

I get a popup window - "Enter Search String" - Nothing shows up, like it
does without your additional code, so I manually enter in the information
from (A1) - Yellow.

I click OK

I get a popup window - "Do you really want to delete rows with empty
cells?"
- what is automatically entered is "No".

I click OK.

Nothing happens. Cell (A1) is still there and no rows throughout the
workbook have been deleted. The macro has stopped.


Thank you.

Hi
In what way does it not work?
What error message do you get?
If it worked for your individual sheet, what is different about your
other
sheets?

The only difference to the original code you posted, is making the macro
loop through each worksheet in the workbook in turn, then running your
macro.

I still couldn't get it to work. Here is what I have:

Option Explicit

Sub KillRows()

Dim MyRange As Range, DelRange As Range, C As Range
Dim MatchString As String, SearchColumn As String, ActiveColumn As
String
Dim FirstAddress As String, NullCheck As String
Dim AC

Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Activate

'Extract active column as text
AC = Split(ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Address(, False), ":")
ActiveColumn = AC(0)

SearchColumn = InputBox("Enter Search Column - press Cancel to exit
sub", "Row Delete Code", ActiveColumn)

On Error Resume Next
Set MyRange = Columns(SearchColumn)
On Error GoTo 0

'If an invalid range is entered then exit
If MyRange Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

MatchString = InputBox("Enter Search string", "Row Delete Code",
ActiveCell.Value)
If MatchString = "" Then
NullCheck = InputBox("Do you really want to delete rows with
empty
cells?" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & _
"Type Yes to do so, else code will exit", "Caution", "No")
If NullCheck < "Yes" Then Exit Sub
End If

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'to match the WHOLE text string
Set C = MyRange.Find(What:=MatchString, After:=MyRange.Cells(1),
LookIn:=xlValues, Lookat:=xlWhole)
'to match a PARTIAL text string use this line
'Set C = MyRange.Find(What:=MatchString, After:=MyRange.Cells(1),
LookIn:=xlValues, Lookat:=xlpart)
'to match the case and of a WHOLE text string
'Set C = MyRange.Find(What:=MatchString, After:=MyRange.Cells(1),
LookIn:=xlValues, Lookat:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=True)

If Not C Is Nothing Then
Set DelRange = C
FirstAddress = C.Address
Do
Set C = MyRange.FindNext(C)
Set DelRange = Union(DelRange, C)
Loop While FirstAddress < C.Address
End If

'If there are valid matches then delete the rows
If Not DelRange Is Nothing Then DelRange.EntireRow.Delete

Next

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Hi

I shouldn't have include the line Range("E1").Select

smw226 via OfficeKB.com and Roger Govier,

I didn't have any luck with the code you gave me. I tried moving it
around
a
bit also, but couldn't get it to work. I don't know what I could be
doing
wrong.

What do I need to do to this VBA code so when I start it it applies
to
the
entire workbook rather than the worksheet?

Thank you.
