Macro help

[XLerator]

I have various data in a column, and I want to include deleting them in a formula macro.

For example, I want the macro to run so that whenever it sees ANY ROW which contains the Text XX, YY, or ZZ etc it erases it.


So the macro would basically look for any of those three values and delete the entire row they are in. It seems tough--any suggestions?

Try this:

Sub Delete_XX_YY_ZZ()
Cells.Find(What:="XX").EntireRow.Delete
Cells.Find(What:="YY").EntireRow.Delete
Cells.Find(What:="ZZ").EntireRow.Delete
End Sub

Awesome!

But, where do I type that in? Is there a drop down menu command, do I highlight it? Ideas?

I'm a novice

Thanks.

1. go into TOOLS > MACRO > VISUAL BASIC EDITOR

2. right click on the workbook or any of its objects, and choose ADD > MODULE

3. in the new module, paste this code.

4. with the cursor in the block of code, press F5 to run it. Otherwise, close down the visual basic editor window, and you can activate the macro by going into TOOLS > MACRO > MACROS and running it from there.

The code will only delete the 1st occurance
of each search string.
If you want to get rid of ALL occurances then
repost...
