Sort in Ascending order and Delete other columns using VBA

[XLWiz]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to VBA development and am having a problem getting the below code to work properly. I need for it to sort column Y in ascending order and delete other columns I don't need. Here is what I have so far:

Sub SortAndDeleteRows()
Range("Y2").CurrentRegion.Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("Y2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
On Error GoTo 0
ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False
Columns("B:F").EntireColumn.Delete
Columns("L:Q").EntireColumn.Delete
Columns("U:V").EntireColumn.Delete
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End With Sub

Any help would be appreciated. Thank in advance.

Hi XLWiz,

you're having "a problem"? A bit more description would help a big deal solving it. On what line of code does your code crash and what's the error message you're getting? What I can see happening in your code straight away: if you're deleting column B:F, everything that is to the right of that will move left (column G will become B, etc), so your code probably won't delete the bits you want to delete.

Koen,

I'm pretty certain I described my problem fairly clearly--A: I'm new to writing code and it isn't working properly and, B: how I need my code to function. If you cannot provide me with assistance, then you've become another part of the problem, and not the solution.

I'd appreciate if you didn't respond further unless you had an actual sample of corrected code, rather than criticism.
