Delete if find a data format
 

Hi ,

I wish to write a macro that can find in column "O", a date in this format
(5/07/2007), if found then highlight the row in red color, else will have to
delete the entire row. However, i just cannot make the macro run? How can
write in such as way that the marco looks from Row 1 to end of last used rows
and try to search for the date format, and to delete that row ? i have tried
selection.Entirerow.Delete or entirerow.delete...but still it does not work.

Delete if find a data format
 

The first rule when deleting rows in a list is to delete from the bottom up.
