Default Macro Magic Wand

Hi guys...

Each monday I get a spreadsheet that's 10,00 lines deep
and 100 across. My task is to locate certain values
within any cell within that sheet and then delete the row
in which the value was found. Typically I have about 300
values to find and it takles me around 4 hours - I've
reached breaking point!

Ideally I'd like to click on a macro button that will
launch an input box that will allow me to for example
enter the name Jones. When I click OK on the input box I
want a macro to run through the entire sheet locating
every occourance Jones and deleting every row in which
the value Jones appear (lifting cells upwards of course)

Are there any examples of this type of functional
programming around...can anyone help me do this? Is it
possible, can Excel VBA handle this?

Thanks in advance

Gordon.
