Hi,

I have the following code and I was wondering how to assign the row to
a variable to insert in the line Rows(4).EntireRow.Delete insted of the 4. I would like to do the below code without the selection.
I never know how to rewrite things.

Briefly, I am trying to find all the rows that have a 'D' in the ACTION column, and delete them.

NAME SIZE LOCATION ACTION
PESF1 2 191-192 N
PESG 2 193-194 D
PESZ 3 195-197 N
PESZZ 2 198-199 N

Sub Filter_Del_Out()

'* Find the rows that need to be deleted
DeleteVar = "D"
Set myFind = Columns(4).Find(what:=DeleteVar, _
After:=Range("D2"), _
LookIn:=xlValues, _
Searchorder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=True)

If Not myFind Is Nothing Then
myFind.Address

myFind.Select
findAddress = myFind.Address
delRow = Selection.Row

Rows(4).EntireRow.Delete
End If

End Sub

Thanks, Nancy

Using a mouse in Excel is the work equivalent of wearing a lanyard when you first get to college
How about:

Code:
Sub Filter_Del_Out()
Columns("D:D").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="D"
Range("D2:D65536").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete
Columns("D:D").AutoFilter
End Sub

OK, that was great!

I can't believe that I know so little!
How do I learn to do those things in such a simplified way? :oops:

Thank you so much for your help!
