Macro for fast deletion of rows that conatin certain data.
 

I need a macro that deletes all rows in a worksheet in which a certain text
string is found in a cell in that row? e.g. If a cell in column "B" contains
a text string "6:00 AM", then delete the entire row.

Macro for fast deletion of rows that conatin certain data.
 

Try the below

Sub DeleteRows()
Dim lngRow As Long
For lngRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row To 1 Step -1
If Range("B" & lngRow).Text = "6:00 AM" Then Rows(lngRow).Delete
Next
End Sub

Hi Phil

I would loop through the file starting at the last row and build a
collection of the rows with the text 6:00 AM in them, then delete that
collection at the finish of the routine.

Sub DeleteRows6AM()
Dim lr As Long, i As Long
Dim delrng As Range, ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
lr = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
For i = lr To 1 Step -1
If Cells(i, 2).Text = "6:00 AM" Then
If delrng Is Nothing Then
Set delrng = ws.Rows(i)
Else
Set delrng = Application.Union(delrng, ws.Rows(i))
End If
End If
Next
delrng.Delete
End Sub
