Good day,

I am Looping down the first column of a spreadsheet and checking for a
certain bit of text in the 3rd column, when i loop downwards and i find
what i am looking for, i want to delete the entire row with the data
that has met my requirements, can anybody help me with some code?

I also have multiple criteria that i must look for, is it possible to
use wild cards?

Example:
I have 10 different combinations, all starting with "H"


Do Until ActiveCell = ""
If ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2) = ("HEP") Then

ElseIf ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2) = ("HEPA") Then

The following will find the last row in column A and then, working upward.
Delete any rows in which the entry in column C starts with h or H

Sub deleterows()
Dim lLastRow As Long
Dim x As Long

lLastRow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
For x = lLastRow To 1 Step -1
If UCase(Left(Range("A" & x).Offset(0, 2).Value, 1)) = "H" Then
Range("A" & x).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next x

End Sub

Hi Nick/Don,

Thanks very much for the help, I really appreciate it.

Nick,

I also have the following and have tried to change the code to suit but
I cannot get it to work, Heeeelp ??

Like previously mentioned, I have1 10 starting with “H” and the rest
are, they must all be deleted;

AEPA, ASPA, AEPE, AEPR, ALPA, AZPA, AZPE ,LA ,LG , LU & NB.

I don’t think i understand the language, as I tried changing the code by
changing “H” to “*PA”, but it still did not work, has it something to do
with the for x ?

Can you use the wild card with as well?

As stated, I new to the game, but love it and very frustrated at this
stage, as I know what I want to do, but can’t !!

Nick's code would delete the row IF the text in col C started with H or h.
If that is not what you want ask again.
