I need some help...
what I want to do is to step through the records which are sorted by a key
field, then a subkey. I want to combine the info part number for all that have the same key in to the last record of the key, then mark the other records to be deleted. I have not done any programming in Excel, and what programming I have done was wayback in dBase3 days. conceptually, this is what I have come up with, but I am not sure how to do this in VB. And I am not sure if this is the best approach. function cleanparts i=row() x = column() testvalue= value of cell(ix) vString ="" do while cell(row(i),column(x)) = testvalue cell(row(i), column(x - 4)) = "marked for deletion" vString = cell(row(i), column(x - 3)) & ", " & vstring i=i+1 enddo 'last row, do not mark for deletion cell(row(i), column(x - 4)) = " keep" return vString Thanks!

I hope thjs is close to what you want. We can make adjustments if needed.
did the best I could from you program. I uses the active cell as the starting position. there is no return value so I made it a sub rather than a function. the sub will delete the cells as it moves down the rows with the same key. Sub cleanparts() MyRow = ActiveCell.Row MyColumn = ActiveCell.Column Testvalue = ActiveCell.Value vstring = "" Do While StrComp(Cells(MyRow + 1, MyColumn), Testvalue) = 0 vstring = vstring & Cells(MyRow, MyColumn - 3).Value Cells(MyRow, MyColumn).EntireRow.Delete Loop vstring = vstring & Cells(MyRow, MyColumn - 3).Value Cells(MyRow, MyColumn - 3).Value = vstring End Sub "Mctabish" wrote: what I want to do is to step through the records which are sorted by a key field, then a subkey.

Joel,
Tha k you much. I do not want to delete the rows right now, as I need to also step through with 3 more aspects of this routine. So right now, I just want to mark it,, then I will test again for condition2, and then for the 3rd time. Then all that meet all tree would get deleted. Thanks again though!
