Your explanation made perfect sense. I tweaked the search
string a bit and now it works perfectly. Thanks guys. I
appreciate all the help.

That is because it is looking for a cell that contains
Ron and only Ron.

If the cell contains Ron as part of a sentence, then that
row goes.

You can look for Ron as a string segment with

If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(.Rows(Lrow), _
"*ron*") = 0 Then .Rows(Lrow).Delete

but that would keep RobotRon

Perhaps more explanation on what determines if a row
stays.

Ron,

It is deleting all the rows and not leaving the rows I
need.

For row 1 -100 try this then

Sub Example()
Dim Lrow As Long
Dim CalcMode As Long
Dim StartRow As Long
Dim EndRow As Long
With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With

With ActiveSheet
.DisplayPageBreaks = False
StartRow = 1
EndRow = 100
For Lrow = EndRow To StartRow Step -1

If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf
(.Rows
(Lrow), _
"ron") = 0 Then .Rows(Lrow).Delete
' Delete each row if the value "Ron" not
exist in the row
'(It will look in the whole row)

Next
End With
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.Calculation = CalcMode
End With
End Sub

Is there a way to delete or hide a set of rows in
a
range,
if a specific word doesn't appear?

Any help is appreciated as always,
Steve
