Hi there,

Im looking for VB that will look in column U for any instance of "abc"
and when it finds it replace the entire cell contents with nothing.

Thus for eg in cell u2 I have a value abc(if,d2-3,z,y) after the macro
runs I need to have the cell be blank. (ie delete the abc and everything
after it..)

abc is always the first three letters in the cell.

Any ideas..?

Thanks

Public Sub ProcessData()
Const TEST_COLUMN As String = "U" '<=== change to suit
Dim i As Long
Dim iLastRow As Long

With ActiveSheet

iLastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, TEST_COLUMN).End(xlUp).Row
For i = iLastRow To 1 Step -1
If .Cells(i, TEST_COLUMN).Value Like "abc*" Then
.Cells(i, TEST_COLUMN).Value = ""
End If
Next i

End With

End Sub
