Creating macro to delete rows

I'm trying to create a macro to delete rows that contain the value "0" only in a certain column. Unfortunately other columns contain 0 as well and the codes I've been using have deleted those rows as well. Here's an example:

Column A Column B Column C Column D
text 0 0 0
text 3 text text
text 1 text text
text 0 0 100
text 0 0 0

Column D is based off a true/false formula hence the 0. I just need a code to delete the "0" and not the text (that contains 0) or 100.

I've actually never worked with macros before and nothing I find is helpful.
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Welcome to the forums!

Try:

Code:
Public Sub CleanSheet()
Dim i   As Long, _
    LR  As Long
LR = Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = LR To 1 Step -1
    If Range("D" & i).Value = 0 Then Rows(i).Delete
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

It shouldn't be erroring (works fine on my end). Did you adjust the code at all? If so, please post your adjusted code.

In that case do you really need a macro. Assuming your data has headings (if not you could temporarily add one) you could use AutoFilter to filter column D for 0 values then just manually select all the visible rows below the heading and delete them. Then remove the AutoFilter.

If you really do need a macro, here is one that does what I've described above (assumes headings in row 1)

<font face=Courier New><br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN> Del_Rows()<br>    Application.ScreenUpdating = <SPAN style="color:#00007F">False</SPAN><br>    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">With</SPAN> Range("D1", Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))<br>        .AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=0"<br>        .Offset(1).EntireRow.Delete<br>        .AutoFilter<br>    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">With</SPAN><br>    Application.ScreenUpdating = <SPAN style="color:#00007F">True</SPAN><br><SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">Sub</SPAN><br></FONT>
