Gareth typed:
I want to check a range (P:T) in every row. These cells will contain
2 letter codes, if the code 'MS' is found ON ITS OWN then I want to
delete that row. The number of rows on the sheet will vary.

Examples:

MS TG do not delete
MS delete
no codes at all do not delete
BB DD FG TR do not delete

Thanks in advance.
