Deleting rows containing common data

68-4611
68-4682

007-007

How do I delete the rows containing "total"


Jason Morin

One way:

1. Select the range and apply an AutoFilter (Data Filter
AutoFilter)

2. On the drop-down list, select "Total".
3. Select the range again if needed.
5. Press F5 Special and click "Visible Cells Only."
6. Remove the filter the same way it was applied.
7. Press <Ctrl<-.
8. Click on "Entire row".
