Creating a macro


Posted by Becca on November 20, 2000 1:52 PM

How do I create a macro in Excel that recursively deletes the entire row if column 'M' has a value <=0 throughout the entire document?
If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciative.

Thanks

You could use a For-Until loop, many examples of which can be found on the Mr. Excel page, but applying the autofilter and simultaneously deleting the rows that match your criteria is faster (in my experience).

Try:

Range("A1:M2000").AutoFilter Field:=14, Criteria1:="Criteria1:="<=0"
Range("A2:M2000").ClearContents
Worksheets("Sheet1").AutoFilterMode = Off

You'll want to change the range to include all of your data. Make sure that the range you use ClearContents on starts one row beneath the range you use the AutoFilter on, since you don't want to delete your header row.
