Hi
I want فخ delete entire row based on helper column (G) .should match the whole item for each cell in column G with column B then should delete entire row , but be careful you will see many similar items may be you think should delete it but in reality not . should match the whole item in column G with column B. if you see the part of item is existed in column B but not whole as in column G then should not delete it.
I have about 8000 rows and every time I will add new items in column G.

why not have the code apply the relevant formatting to the used area as well?
I'm afraid the code will slow down when the big data contains formatting , so I prefer doing manually and the code just search for values .
about formatting has fixed and works very well.:)

Now try this code a few times with different items in column G of ACS sheet.
after clearing items in column G and add many times and especially when I have just item in G2 then will show mismatch error in this line .

VBA Code:
RX.Pattern = "\b(" & Join(Application.Transpose(.Range("G2", .Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value), "|") & ")\b"

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
I'm afraid the code will slow down when the big data contains formatting
Have you tested that theory with my code to see how much it slows down?

when I have just item in G2 then will show mismatch error
Assuming that you will have something in G2 at least ..

VBA Code:
Sub Del_Rows_v5()
  Dim RX As Object
  Dim a As Variant
  Dim nc As Long, i As Long, k As Long
 
  Set RX = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
  With Sheets("ACS")
    If IsEmpty(.Range("G3").Value) Then
      RX.Pattern = "\b" & .Range("G2").Value & "\b"
    Else
      RX.Pattern = "\b(" & Join(Application.Transpose(.Range("G2", .Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value), "|") & ")\b"
    End If
    nc = 6
    a = .Range("A1:F" & .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Value
  End With
  For i = 2 To UBound(a)
    If RX.test(a(i, 2)) Then
      a(i, 6) = 1
      k = k + 1
    End If
  Next i
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  With Sheets("OUTPUT")
    .UsedRange.Offset(2).Clear
    With .Range("A1").Resize(UBound(a), nc)
      .Rows(2).ClearContents
      .Rows(2).Copy Destination:=.Offset(1).Resize(UBound(a) - 1)
      .Value = a
      If k > 0 Then
        .Sort Key1:=.Columns(nc), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes
        .Offset(1).Resize(k).EntireRow.Delete
      End If
      Application.Goto .Cells(1, 1), True
    End With
  End With
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

as I expected will slow down , but not big difference.
your first answer , now gives 0.16 sec
and last answer will be 0.220 sec
anyway your code is really fast , I don't expect to get better than your code with all of my respect & appreciating for others members.
thanks Peter for this great work .;)

I thought as much, 0.06 seconds difference would not even be noticeable. 😎
In any case the first code did not do the required job and the last one apparently does, so comparing the times is pretty pointless. ;)

thanks Peter
You are welcome.
