I run this macro first, nothing happen, what suppose
happen after I run?
then I run the following

Sub Test()
Dim r As Long
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(r, "A").Value = "" Or _
.Cells(r, "F").Value = "" Then
.Rows(r).Delete
End If
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

nothing happen, all the empty row still out there, also
the record with columnF has value " " still exist, never
got delete either, what did I do wrong.

When you use this macro it will remove all spaces in the
data.
A cell with a space in it is not Empty

Select your data first and run this macro

Sub TRIMALL_alternate()
'Dave Peterson, programming, 2002-08-17
'http://google.com/groups?

Dim myRange As Range
Dim myCol As Range

Set myRange = Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange,
Selection)
If myRange Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

myRange.Replace What:=Chr(160), Replacement:=Chr
(32), _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows,
MatchCase:=False

For Each myCol In myRange.Columns
If Application.CountA(myCol) 0 Then
myCol.TextToColumns Destination:=myCol(1), _
DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array
(0, 1)
End If
Next myCol
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Now run the macro I posted

Then use this

Sub Test()
Dim r As Long
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(r, "A").Value = "" Or _
.Cells(r, "A").Value = "" Then
.Rows(r).Delete
End If
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

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.

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"
Then
.Rows(r).Delete
End If
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

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
