I need a macro to delete unwanted data
Hi all,
I need to design a macro in Excel that will delete all unwanted data. For example: I have fields a,b,c,d. In field c my data is either x,y,z. If data is y then I want to delete the entire row. Thanks |

Hi,
Something along these lines: For i = 1 To 3 If Cells(i, "A") = "b" Then Cells(i, "A").EntireRow.Delete Next HTH "Jason" wrote: Hi all, I need to design a macro in Excel that will delete all unwanted data.

I need a macro to delete unwanted data
Put a b in the first 3 cells and run it. You will find it skips rows. You
need to loop from the highest numbered row to the lowest numbered row. For i = 3 To 1 Step -1 If Cells(i, "A") = "b" Then Cells(i, "A").EntireRow.Delete Next -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Toppers" wrote in message ...

IIRC the top-to-bottom approach worked in Excel 95 but the behavior changed
in Excel 97. -- Vasant "Toppers" wrote in message ... Thanks Tom - the number of times you (and others) have told us this ! Hopefully I will remember in future.
