I am trying to come up with a macro to delete all rows of data starting with row two (1st row is a header row that I do not want to delete) on several worksheets within my document. The worksheet names are listed out specifically in my macro below. I was just playing around with the rows 2:6000 in the macro. I really want it to delete all rows of data starting with row 2 and going until the last row, each sheet listed could have a different number of rows on the sheet. I get a Compile error: Syntax error when I run it. Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong? I know where I'm getting my error, I just don't know how to fix it.

Sub DeleteRows()

Dim shtArr, i As Long

shtArr = Array("Not Covered", "No Run", "Not Completed", "Blocked", "Failed", "Not Testable", "Passed")

For i = LBound(shtArr) To UBound(shtArr)

Sheets(shtArr(i)).Rows(2:6000).EntireRow.Delete

Next i

End Sub

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Try this

VBA Code:
Sub DeleteRows()
  Dim shtArr
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  shtArr = Array("Not Covered", "No Run", "Not Completed", "Blocked", "Failed", "Not Testable", "Passed") 
  Sheets(shtArr).Select
  Rows("2:" & Rows.Count).Select
  Selection.Clear
  Sheets(1).Select
End Sub
