Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"

Sub Delete()
Dim delval

del = Range("A1").Value

for i = 2 to 100
if cells(i,1).value = del then
cells(i,1).value.entirerow.delete
endif
next i

end sub

For Example:
I need a button in cell A1 and When I enter D in Cell A2 and press the button then column D should be deleted.

Create the button and asigning the macro is easy to do. The VBA should look like this:

Sub Macro1()
'
Code:
' Macro1


    i = Range("A2").Value
    Range(i & "1").EntireColumn.Delete
   
End Sub

Be aware: when entered column A the macro deletes column A including the button!
