What I am trying to do is, check if Row 5, Column D has "SB" in the cell. If
there is a "SB" in the cell, delete the row above it. I have done a search on
deleting row most of the posting were for deleting blank lines and the such
so they weren't much help to me. I am still trying to learn this stuff as
fast as I can.

Thanks

hi,,

Giving an answer that you can develop into more meaaningful code is
difficult given that you would normally do something as simple as this
without resorting to code i.e. you would simply look at d5 and delete
manually if required. However, this does what you want


Sub Stance()
If Cells(5, 4).Value = "SB" Then
Rows(4).EntireRow.Delete
End If
End Sub

I guess I forgot to mention that it would check each cell in column D for a
"SB" throughout the entire sheet that sheet.

Revision to my code

Sub DeleteSB()
Dim MyCell As Range
Dim SBRow As Range

Set SBRow = Range("D:D")

For Each MyCell In SBRow
If MyCell.Value = "SB" Then
MyCell.Offset(-1, 0).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next
End Sub

This will do what you want.

Thanks it work perfectly

Hello, Try this:

Sub Test)
If Cells(5, "D").Value = "SB" Then Cells(5, "D").Offset(-1,
0).EntireRow.Delete
End Sub

Sub DeleteSB()
Dim MyCell As Range
Dim SBRow As Range

Set SBRow = Range("5:5")

For Each MyCell In SBRow
If MyCell.Value = "SB" Then
MyCell.Offset(-1, 0).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next
End Sub

This will delete row 4 if Row 5 contains "SB". If you want to delete
the previous row of any range that contains "SB", simply change the
line

SetSBRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows
