It would be better if you would post your response in the sub-thread you are
responding to rather than start a new sub-thread every time you post a
response.

Okay, I just looked through my code and noticed I left out some "dots" that
are necessary to force the references back to the worksheet referenced in
the With statement. I also see that I left in a hard-coded column reference
instead of using the ColumnToProcess name defined in the Const statement
(you caught that when you substituted your "B" for my hard-coded "A" in the
Cells function call). Below is revised code to correct those errors. See if
it solves your problem.

Sub DeleteMultiples(ItemText As String)
Dim X As Long
Dim ItemRow As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Const ColumnToProcess = "B"
With Worksheets("Psummary")
LastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, ColumnToProcess).End(xlUp).Row
ItemRow = .Range(ColumnToProcess & ":" & ColumnToProcess). _
Find(ItemText, After:=.Cells(LastRow, ColumnToProcess), _
LookIn:=xlValues).Row
For X = LastRow To ItemRow + 1 Step -1
If .Cells(X, ColumnToProcess).Value = ItemText Then
.Cells(X, ColumnToProcess).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next
End With
End Sub

I have a spreadshhet that looks up stocks and the information that I
want for
that stock. I am trying to create a grouping. Each stock has a category
and
when it is imported it is labeled with that category. What I am looking
to do
is if there is a way to delate the category name after the forst
occurence
looked up. So in the example below after the first US OE
Speacilty-RealEstate
have excel delete just the next occurence heading but leave the other
information that follows. So it is like US OE Speacilty Real Estate is
a
group of funds.
