Default How do I set up a macro to automatically delete certain cells?

assume column 3 (C) is where the x's appear

set rng = Columns(3).Specialcells(xlconstants,xltextvalues)
for each cell in rng
if lcase(cell.value) = "x" then
if rng1 is nothing then
set rng1 = cell
else
set rng1 = union(rng1,cell)
end if
end if
Next
if not rng1 is nothing then
rng1.EntireRow.Delete ' to delete the row Or
'rng1.offset(0,1).ClearContents ' to just clear the cell to the
right

Of course if the only thing in this column will be the x's then you don't
need to do the looping

Columns(3).Specialcells(xlconstants,xltextvalues). EntireRow.Delete

as an example.

I have a list of items in a column. (say 20) I would like to be able

to
enter an "x" in the cell to the left of certain items (say 4 of them) and
then run a macro that will delete the items. Does anyone have any ideas?

I
need to be able to indicate with an "x" which items are no longer valid

and
then run the macro at the end of a shift and clear just those items marked
with an "x". Thanks!
