smart people of Mrexcel, I have this code to calculate the total amount of a certain item, and display the total after the last row in the excel.
after this row is added after the last row, I want to remove any row that contains the keyword "Sealant" (these can be any row, any number of rows), except the newly added row
what is the best approach to this problem, to ensure the new row will not be removed ?

VBA Code: 
Sub SealantConseal()
    Dim lrNew As Long, lr As Long
    lr = ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    lrNew = lr
    sr = 2

    With Range("M1", Cells(Rows.Count, "M").End(3))
        .Replace What:="""", Replacement:=vbNullString, LookAt:=xlPart
        .Replace What:="/JOINT", Replacement:=vbNullString, LookAt:=xlPart
        
    n = WorksheetFunction.SumIfs(Range("M" & sr & ":M" & lr), Range("K" & sr & ":K" & lr), "*JOINT SEALANT*")
    lrNew = lrNew + 1
    Cells(lrNew, "A") = Cells(lr, "A")
    Cells(lrNew, "B") = "."
    Cells(lrNew, "C") = Int(((n / 12 / 14.5) + 0.5) * 2)
    Cells(lrNew, "D") = "F51019"
    Cells(lrNew, "I") = "Purchased"
    Cells(lrNew, "K") = "CS-102 Sealant"
    If Cells(lrNew, "C").Value = 0 Then
        Rows(lrNew).Delete
    End If
End Sub

Try this:

VBA Code: 
Sub SealantConseal()
  Dim lrNew As Long, lr As Long
  Dim sr As Long, n As Double, i As Long
  Dim f As Range, rng As Range
  
  lr = ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
  lrNew = lr
  sr = 2
  
  With Range("M1", Cells(Rows.Count, "M").End(3))
    .Replace What:="""", Replacement:=vbNullString, LookAt:=xlPart
    .Replace What:="/JOINT", Replacement:=vbNullString, LookAt:=xlPart
  End With
  
  n = WorksheetFunction.SumIfs(Range("M" & sr & ":M" & lr), Range("K" & sr & ":K" & lr), "*JOINT SEALANT*")
  lrNew = lrNew + 1
  Cells(lrNew, "A") = Cells(lr, "A")
  Cells(lrNew, "B") = "."
  Cells(lrNew, "C") = Int(((n / 12 / 14.5) + 0.5) * 2)
  Cells(lrNew, "D") = "F51019"
  Cells(lrNew, "I") = "Purchased"
  Cells(lrNew, "K") = "CS-102 Sealant"
  If Cells(lrNew, "C").Value = 0 Then
    Rows(lrNew).Delete
  Else
    For i = lr - 1 To 1 Step -1
      Set f = Rows(i).Find("Sealant", , xlValues, xlPart, , , False)
      If Not f Is Nothing Then
        If rng Is Nothing Then Set rng = Rows(i) Else Set rng = Union(rng, Rows(i))
      End If
    Next
    
    If Not rng Is Nothing Then
      rng.Delete
    End If
    
  End If
End Sub

I will run this on some test files, I will let you know how it goes

just in column K thanks !

If only column K is to be searched, then use the following macro:

VBA Code: 
Sub SealantConseal()
  Dim lrNew As Long, lr As Long
  Dim sr As Long, n As Double, i As Long
  Dim f As Range, rng As Range
 
  lr = ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
  lrNew = lr
  sr = 2
 
  With Range("M1", Cells(Rows.Count, "M").End(3))
    .Replace what:="""", Replacement:=vbNullString, LookAt:=xlPart
    .Replace what:="/JOINT", Replacement:=vbNullString, LookAt:=xlPart
  End With
 
  n = WorksheetFunction.SumIfs(Range("M" & sr & ":M" & lr), Range("K" & sr & ":K" & lr), "*JOINT SEALANT*")
  lrNew = lrNew + 1
  Cells(lrNew, "A") = Cells(lr, "A")
  Cells(lrNew, "B") = "."
  Cells(lrNew, "C") = Int(((n / 12 / 14.5) + 0.5) * 2)
  Cells(lrNew, "D") = "F51019"
  Cells(lrNew, "I") = "Purchased"
  Cells(lrNew, "K") = "CS-102 Sealant"
  If Cells(lrNew, "C").Value = 0 Then
    Rows(lrNew).Delete
  Else
    For i = lr To 1 Step -1
      If InStr(1, Range("K" & i).Value, "Sealant", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
        If rng Is Nothing Then Set rng = Rows(i) Else Set rng = Union(rng, Rows(i))
      End If
    Next
   
    If Not rng Is Nothing Then
      rng.Delete
    End If
   
  End If
End Sub
--------------------------

I also show you another way to delete rows without a loop.
Any of the 2 macros can help you.

VBA Code: 
Sub SealantConseal_2()
  Dim lrNew As Long, lr As Long
  Dim sr As Long, n As Double, i As Long
  Dim f As Range, rng As Range
 
  lr = ActiveSheet.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
  lrNew = lr
  sr = 2
 
  With Range("M1", Cells(Rows.Count, "M").End(3))
    .Replace what:="""", Replacement:=vbNullString, Lookat:=xlPart
    .Replace what:="/JOINT", Replacement:=vbNullString, Lookat:=xlPart
  End With
 
  n = WorksheetFunction.SumIfs(Range("M" & sr & ":M" & lr), Range("K" & sr & ":K" & lr), "*JOINT SEALANT*")
  lrNew = lrNew + 1
  Cells(lrNew, "A") = Cells(lr, "A")
  Cells(lrNew, "B") = "."
  Cells(lrNew, "C") = Int(((n / 12 / 14.5) + 0.5) * 2)
  Cells(lrNew, "D") = "F51019"
  Cells(lrNew, "I") = "Purchased"
  Cells(lrNew, "K") = "CS-102 Sealant"
  If Cells(lrNew, "C").Value = 0 Then
    Rows(lrNew).Delete
  Else
    Range("K1:K" & lr).Replace "*Sealant*", "#N/A", xlWhole
    On Error Resume Next
    Range("K1:K" & lr).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlErrors).EntireRow.Delete
    On Error GoTo 0
  End If
End Sub

Can you briefly explain this part of your code? I am just trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks !

this is the second option you provided, can you briefly explain this part of the code ? thanks

VBA Code: 
      If InStr(1, Range("K" & i).Value, "Sealant", vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
        If Rng Is Nothing Then Set Rng = Rows(i) Else Set Rng = Union(Rng, Rows(i))
      End If
With the InStr function it searches each cell of column K if the "Sealant" word exists, if it exists, the InStr function returns the position within the cell where the word "Sealant" begins. So if the result is greater than 0, it means that it found the word. If it is equal to 0 the word does not exist.
If the word exists, the reference to the rng object is added, so that at the end if the rng object is not empty it deletes the rows.

VBA Code: 
Range("K1:K" & lr).Replace "*Sealant*", "#N/A", xlWhole
On Error Resume Next
Range("K1:K" & lr).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlErrors).EntireRow.Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Replace the word "Sealant" in the cell with an error: #N/A.
The following statement Range("K1:K" & lr).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlErrors).EntireRow.Delete deletes the entire row where the cells contain an error.
The statement is preceded by the On Error Resume Next instruction in the event that no cell contains an error. If this were the case, the macro sends an error, so the On Error Resume Next instruction is placed in order not to stop execution.
