I am trying to find and delete specific rows in a spreadsheet, however the reference Im looking for e.g. 800411 is not always going to be in the spreadsheet, so my macro is not working on all occasions €“ any ideas how I can overcome this.

Macro so far:

Sheets("top10month").SelectCells.Find(What:="80041 1", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
ActiveCell.Rows("1:1").EntireRow.Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
ActiveCell.Select

Any help is appreciated this is a great forum for beginners like me! Thanks
