I need a program which will remove from a largs WorkSheet all rows if the
word "High' is not present in the row.
Thanks

You need to be more specific, would high be an entry in any cell in
row or just say column A. or the first 5 columns. The longer the range
the longer the macro will take to run.
Also would it be in a text string or the entire cell
eg how high can you jump
or just "high"

and if it was the later was for example "highly regarded" would it b
retained as well?

Regards

Da

Thanks Dav for your interest.

The word "high" will be in column A. It will be a discrete word, but may
have other words in the same cell

You could use data|Filter to show the cells that contain "high".

Then delete those visible rows.

Record a macro when you do it manually if you want the code.

To use Dave's Idea the following should work, much simpler than what
was thinking of as I do not really use filter, perhaps I should loo
into them a bit more! To use filters, the top row of your sheet has t
be a heading row, so the data starts in row 2

Sub Macro4()
'
' Macro4 Macro

'
Range("A1").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<*high*"
Operator:=xlAnd
Range("A2:a65533").Select
Selection.EntireRow.Delete
Selection.AutoFilter
Range("A1").Select
End Sub

Regards

Dav,
When I used your Sub Macro4() below, it remove all my data below row 1;
which is definately not what I wanted.
I modified your macro to:

Range("A2:A65533").Select
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<*high*", Operator:=xlAnd
Selection.EntireRow.Delete
Range("A1").Select

which works well for all data below row 2, but which always deletes row 2
whether it meets the criteria or not. This means that if I subsequently run
the same macro, I then just loose row 2 each time.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi All,

May be you need :

Sub DellRows()

For r = 1 To 100 ' 100 is end of rows you want
If Cells(r, 1).Value = "High" Then del = del & ",A" & r
Next r
If del < "" Then Range(Mid(del, 2, Len(del))).EntireRow.Delete

End Sub
