Hey all

I have a text string in cell A3 of workings sheet

Can you help with VB that will search for an exact match to this text string through column B of the stock sheet.
Once found (there should always be an exact match) then delete cells in that row, columns B:O.
Once these cells deleted, shift all the rows below up one to fill these blank cells.

Note, I don't want entire row deleted or entire rows below moved up to fill void because I have important information populating column A of the stock sheet that can't be altered.
also Note that the text string used can also include numbers, but NOT just numbers, eg, There are 33 red balls, or 126 small bags
Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Try
VBA Code:
Sub FindAndDelete()
  Sheets("stock").Columns("B").Find(What:=Sheets("workings").Range("A3").Value, LookAt:=xlWhole).Resize(, 14).Delete Shift:=xlUp
End Sub
