How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Is it only exactly "J" you are looking for in each cell, or can "J" be part of a longer entry, like "Joe"?

How about
VBA Code:
Sub tonywatson()
   With Range("A1", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      .Replace "J", True, xlPart, , False, , False, False
      .SpecialCells(xlConstants, xlLogical).EntireRow.ClearContents
   End With
End Sub

Yes, every cell is a formula that basicly looks at the row a decides if i need to keep it, if a do the answer is "" if i dont the answer is "J" (capital J if that matters?) so its any cell with just "J"

As you have a formula returning the J, you could change the formula to return TRUE or "" & then just use
VBA Code:
      Range("A:A").SpecialCells(xlFormulas, xlLogical).EntireRow.ClearContents
