Deleting columns based upon the value that appears in ROW A
Hi
I would like to delete columns in a spreadsheet dependant upon the value in row a. So for example the macro could say delete all columns other than those that have "First Name", "Surname" or "Score" in row a. Is this possible ? If so, can you tell me how to do it ? Thanks in advance. Steve |

Deleting columns based upon the value that appears in ROW A
Thanks guys.
Tom That is exactly what I am looking for. So that i can use it with other scenarios would you please explain which part of the code tells me to look in row 1 only ? One more thing...would it be possible to re-order the columns ? i.e. "surname","first name" and "score" (in that order) irrespective of the order they appear in the original spreadsheet ?

Cells(1,"IV")
cells(1,i) the 1 means row 1.
