I am looking for a VBA code to remove rows in which, column B does NOT contain "keyword1". The content of cells in column B is simple text such as "This is the text containing keyword1 in this cell".

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Something I use regularly.

Filter your data to show only the rows you want deleted and then run (it won't delete the header row):
Code:
Sub DeleteVisibleRows()
With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    .DisplayAlerts = False
End With
With ActiveSheet
    .UsedRange.Offset(1, 0).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Rows.Delete
    .AutoFilterMode = False
End With
With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = True
    .DisplayAlerts = True
End With
End Sub

Try like this

Code:
Sub test2()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
LR = Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 1 Step -1
    If Not Range("B" & i).Value Like "*keyword1*" Then Rows(i).Delete
Next i
End Sub
