Ignore other values
 

The following code delete rows where colA contains the word "delete"
I need the code to ignore any other values in colA as the code fails on this
aspect.

Private Sub DeleteRows_Click()
Dim X As Long
Dim Y As Long
Y = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
'y= find the last non empty cell in column A
For X = Y To 1 Step -1
'Lcase gets the lower case of the word
If LCase(Cells(X, 1).Value) = "delete" Then
Rows(X).Delete
End If
Next X
End Sub

Anyone familiar with this code?
Thanks
Pat

Pat

in what way does it fail ? Works for me assuming just text in the cells.
What do you have in the cells that the code fails on ?

Hi Trevor,
I tested the code again and it works fine, I don't know what could have
happened the first time around.
Many thanks for supplying the code.
