Help with Looping (For and Next Statement)

[pwill]

Hi can anyone help me with understanding how to use the For and Next Statement?

I have had a go at trying to delete rows one at a time with the For and Next statement but am struggling to understand how it works?

I have put (dummy Data) in columns "A:B" and have put X's down column C in random rows. I want to delete (xlUp) rows, Range("A:C") one at a time where there is an X in column C.

I have the following macros, the first two work but I have to click the play button in the Visual Basic for the rows to delete one at a time.

The third macro is my attempt at using the For and Next statement using the first macro and want to try and do the same with the second macro if possible? It deletes the first row but then errors?

any help would be appreciated

	A	B	C	D	E
1	Header	Header	Header
2	A	1
3	B	2	x
4	C	3
5	A	4	x
6	A	5	x
7	B	6	x
8	C	7
9	B	8	x
10	A	9
11	B	10	x
12	C	11
13	A	12	x
14
15

Sub Macro1()

Dim Sht1 As Worksheet: Set Sht1 = Sheet1
Dim lRow As Long

    lRow = Sht1.Cells(, 3).End(xlDown).Row
    
    Sht1.Range("A" & lRow & ":C" & lRow).Delete (xlUp)
    
End Sub


Sub Macro2()

Dim Sht1 As Worksheet: Set Sht1 = Sheet1

    Sht1.Cells(, 3).End(xlDown).Activate
    Sht1.Range(ActiveCell.Offset(, -2), ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0)).Delete (xlUp)

End Sub


Sub Macro3()

Dim Sht1 As Worksheet: Set Sht1 = Sheet1
Dim lRow As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim Rng

    lRow = Sht1.Cells(, 3).End(xlDown).Row
    
    Set Rng = Sht1.Range("A" & lRow & ":C" & lRow)
    
    For i = 1 To lRow
        Rng.Delete (xlUp)
    Next i

End Sub

Now I'm going to have a go at adding the final part to the code for column D.

All it does is a count, so I will add it to the end off your code and let you know how I get on.

Good to try it yourself - best way to learn - but if you run into difficulty, or speed issues again, show us what you have tried and some sample data with the required results entered manually together with explanation.

Thanks for your generous comments. Glad it worked so well for you.


I guess the exercise has something of a lesson if you have further questions in the future. Best to tell/show us as clearly as you can what you have, what you want to end up with and what you have tried so far. However, best not to tell us how the problem should be solved as there may be ways that you haven't even thought of or know about.

I agree, I need to tidy up my questions, I think I'm better than I was when I joined

I will work on that... I just panic sometimes and start rushing things

Hi Pete,

Just letting you know I added the final part to the code and it runs perfect it took around 1sec to complete with the additional count to column D, which is fast enough for me

Thanks again

Great news! Thanks for letting us know.
