Lop to delete rows
 

Using Excel 2000. I want to loop through column A of my worksheet and if
the contents are text, I want to delete the row. Tried all sorts of
suggestions on the web but can's seem to get Istex working.

Any suggestion welcome. Thank, Rob

Hi

Try this for Column A

Sub Loop_Example()
Dim Firstrow As Long
Dim Lastrow As Long
Dim Lrow As Long
Dim CalcMode As Long
Dim ViewMode As Long

With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With

'We use the ActiveSheet but you can replace this with

Look also at Specialcells, faster.

Sub DeleteRowsWithText()
'This macro delete all rows with a blank cell in column A
'If there are no blanks or there are too many areas you see a MsgBox
Dim CCount As Long
On Error Resume Next

With Columns("A") ' You can also use a range like this Range("A1:A8000")
CCount = .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues).Areas(1).Cells.Count
If CCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "There are no blank cells"
ElseIf CCount = .Cells.Count Then
MsgBox "There are more then 8192 areas"
Else
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues).EntireRow.Delete
End If
End With

On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Ron,

I had tried this but all rows are deleted, I turned off setting to manual
calc in case that was the issue but alas no. When entering =ISTEXT(A1), the
formula correctly returns Tue or False but macro deletes all rows.

I'll keep trying to figure it out. Thanks, Rob

Hi Robert

Because Column A are for 98 % dates we must use Value2 in this example

If Application.WorksheetFunction.IsText(.Value2) = True Then .EntireRow.Delete

This one is also working correct

Sub DeleteRowsWithText()
'This macro delete all rows with a blank cell in column A
'If there are no blanks or there are too many areas you see a MsgBox
Dim CCount As Long
On Error Resume Next

With Columns("A") ' You can also use a range like this Range("A1:A8000")
CCount = .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues).Areas(1).Cells.Count
If CCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "There are no blank cells"
ElseIf CCount = .Cells.Count Then
MsgBox "There are more then 8192 areas"
Else
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues).EntireRow.Delete
End If
End With

On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
