I use your original code, all the "problem" "-----"
records is gone, but I still have a lots of empty row,
how can I delete them, also some of records on columnF
has spaces " ", how can I delete them, thanks for all the
help, you are a genius.
Can I use the following code:
Sub Test()
Dim r As Long
Dim s As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Worksheets("sheet1")
For r = .UsedRange.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
If .Cells(r, "A").Value = "----------" Or _
.Cells(r, "A").Value = "PROBLEM" Or _
.Cells(s, "A").Value = " " Or _
.Cells(s, "F").Value = " " Then
.Rows(r).Delete
.Rows(s).Delete
End If
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
thanks.

Try this(is not fast)
I don't know what you mean by space?
You can add things to the macro yourself
Sub Test()
Dim r As Long
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
For r = .UsedRange.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
If .Cells(r, "A").Value = "----" Or _
.Cells(r, "A").Value = "problem" Then
.Rows(r).Delete
End If
Next
End With
End Sub
