I had a missing ) but you don't have any that meet the criteria. Try msbox
with =5 to see.

Sub deleterowsif()
Dim i As Long
For i = Cells(Rows.Count, "b").End(xlUp).Row To 1 Step -1
'one line
'If Right(Cells(i, 2), 5) = "Total" And Cells(i, 3) < 5 Then Rows(i).Delete
If Right(Cells(i, 2), 5) = "Total" And Cells(i, 3) = 5 Then MsgBox i

Next i

End Sub

Mike,

What do you think is wrong with this. It reads up the used range of
columnn
B and if the last 5 characters are "Total" and the value in the
corresponding
row of column C is less than 5 the entirerow is deleted assuming of
course
the delete line is un-commented. Is that what you expect to happen?
