I am trying to get my code to check the number of lines through a cell value, and then repeatedly delete the row 'x' number of times.

My problem is that I use a unique identifier to find the row to start the deletion process, but once that row is deleted first the code is unable to locate what to delete anymore. How can I lock in the row once I have found it so that the code can delete 'x' number of times?

My code (cNum is set to the value of 1)
VBA Code:
        Set findvalue = DataSH.Range("A:A").Find(What:=Me.IDnumber.Value, _
        LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
        
        x = findvalue.Offset(0, 12).Value
        'delete the entire row
        For cNum = 1 To x
            findvalue.EntireRow.Delete ' xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        Next cNum

Once findvalue is set I think I need to change it to the row number permanently for the remainder of the for loop, but I am not sure how to accomplish this or if it would work that way.

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Instead of a loop try resizing the range:
findvalue.resize(x).EntireRow.Delete
