Dim icol as long, i as long
Dim lastRow as Long, Dim firstRow as Long
firstRow = 1
icol = 3 ' column C as an example
lastRow = cells(rows.count,icol).End(xlup).Row
for i = lastrow to firstrow
if cells(i,icol).Value = "Mortimer" then
cells(i,icol).EntireRow.delete
end if
Next

Thanks a millon Tom.

I understand whats happening in the code but for some reason when i run
it nothing happens i.e does not delete the rows of the specified people
= If Cells(i, icol).Value = "Alan, Victor, Jason, Maria". Can u help me
with this?

here is the code as i put it in:

Dim icol As Long, i As Long
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim firstRow As Long
firstRow = 1
icol = 1 ' column A
lastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, icol).End(xlUp).Row
For i = lastRow To firstRow
If Cells(i, icol).Value = "Alan, Victor, Jason, Maria" Then
Cells(i, icol).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next
