I did. I made sure I anything that was H I changed to E. However, I forgot to
mention there is an IF formula in the E column which is why I was unable to
sort. I imported into Access, wrote a simple query and Exported back to excel
and all is well. I work with access and didn't even think about that because
I was so pre-occupied with trying to do it in excel.

Thank you for your help and will save the code for spreadsheets with no
formulas in the cells.

You also need to change the H to E in the equation for n.

Hi,

I changed the H to E and placed it in a module and ran the macro and id
gives me an error on this line:

If Cells(i, "E").Value = "DUP" Then

It says Type Mismatch.

The column is E and word in that column is DUP. so if DUP is found in that
column, I want the entire rows deleted. I may have explained that incorrectly
the first time. Sorry about that.

Try this small macro:

Sub stockwell()
n = Cells(Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).Row
For i = n To 1 Step -1
If Cells(i, "H").Value = "Duplicate?" Then
Rows(i).Delete
End If
Next
End Sub

This code is for column H. Adapt to suit your needs.

Hello,

I have a spreadsheet that has a column that says "Duplicate?". I am trying
to delete thse as there are over 6,000 rows I hate to do this manually. How
can I delete the ones that say Dup in the cell either at once or doing a find
and delete?

Thanks!
