As I understand it ,the idea is to have it do it for all BUT your list. Do
you want to delete the entire row where the value in the cell is NOT one of
the 10-12???

You may sent a workbook to the address below with a copy of this thread and
complete and clear instruction of what you want. I do not want to go back to
this to see what it was about and I do not want to guess what you want.

Thanks for the response. But I'm missing something. If I put your code
into
a new module, I get a message box (No) when it runs.
FYI: The source info varies daily and may (or may not) have input from
1000+ departments (59, 3100, 31010, etc.), so it would be difficult to
define
the total population. My VBA knowledge is limited, but if that the
intent
of defining "mystr" it will be quite a list.
Of the 1000+, I want to retain 10-12 depts which will infrequently vary.
When the retain list changes, my plan was to modify the code for the new
numbers.

Try this simpler idea and post back.

mystr = "59,3100,3101"
x = 3100'your value
If InStr(mystr, x) = 0 Then MsgBox "NO"

Thanks for the quick response. As I said, a bit repetitive, but here
you
go:

'Delete Rows that do not match the list
Sub TrackingItemsWholesaleBeta()
Const strCriteria1 As String = "59"
Const strCriteria2 As String = "3100"
Const strCriteria3 As String = "3101"
Const strCriteria4 As String = "3102"
Const strCriteria5 As String = "3104"
Const strCriteria6 As String = "3117"
Const strCriteria7 As String = "3118"
Const strCriteria8 As String = "3121"
'Change to what is to be eliminated in above

End With

If LCase(rngCell.Value) = LCase(strCriteria1) Then

End If
End If

I have a macro (thanks to this site) that deletes rows that do not
meet
conditions. I now have reason retain rows that meet the conditions
(delete
rows where the conditons are not met). For example, I want to
delete
all
rows where col2 < any of up to 12 different branch numbers.
I tried changing the = to < in the existing macro (which loops
through
for
each condition) but it seems the logic deletes the row because it
does
not
match condition 1, even if it would have matched a later condition.
The
row
is deleted by then.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
wal50
