I'm not sure what is wroing with this code, my goal is to clear any text in
Column E that does not match "HO". Any help is appreciated. Thanks

LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row
For RowNdx = LastRow To 1 Step -1
If StrComp(Cells(RowNdx, "E"), "HO", vbTextCompare) Then
Rows(RowNdx)ActiveCell.ClearContents
End If
Next RowNdx

There isn't an activecell as such since you aren't selecting cells
through this loop.
this code deletes the rows contents if cell isn't = HO


replace with Range("E" & RowNdx).ClearContents for just the cewll in
column E


Sub clearnotHO()
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row
For RowNdx = LastRow To 1 Step -1
If StrComp(Cells(RowNdx, "E"), "HO", vbTextCompare) Then
Rows(RowNdx).ClearContents
End If
Next RowNdx
End Sub

why not just

For RowNdx = LastRow To 1 Step -1
if ucase(Cells(RowNdx, "E"))< "HO" then cells(rowndx,"e").clearcontents
next

From the number of similar posts you've made, it kind of looks like you're
having trouble with StrComp.

Maybe just checking for equal would be easier to understand/implement.

LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row
For RowNdx = LastRow To 1 Step -1
If lcase(Cells(RowNdx, "E").value) = lcase("HO") then
'do nothing, it's HO.
else
cells(rowndx,"E").ClearContents
End If
Next RowNdx


By comparing lcase() with lcase(), it's the same as the vbTextCompare.
