Line delete automaticaly
 

Hi,

Is it possible to delete complete lines automaticaly?

I mean that for example, I want to delete all lines containing a
certain word or phrase (not a single cell or a find replace), say all
lines that contain the word ''blue'', can this be done or do I have to
scroll down the entire worksheet and manually delete the lines?

Thanks!

Hi Simbad,

If you go ...DataFilterAutoFilter

Then filter for the rows containing e.g. "blue" and delete these rows.

Go toggle filter off by... DataFilterAutoFilter

This should work I think,

Thanks
Mike

You can use Autofilter or a macro.
