For Each cell In MR
If cell.Value = "Total Prod Changes" or "All Prod" Then cell.EntireColumn.Delete
Next

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.
Try:
Code:
Sub deleteCols()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim x As Long, TPC As Range, AP As Range
    For x = 105 To 18 Step -1
        If Not Columns(x).Find("Total Prod Changes") Is Nothing Or Not Columns(x).Find("All Prod") Is Nothing Then
            Columns(x).Delete
        End If
    Next x
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

You are very welcome. :)
You replace this line of code:
Code:
 Dim x As Long, TPC As Range, AP As Range
with this line:
Code:
Dim x As Long

For those who might find this interesting, the OP's request can be accomplished using a non-looping macro as well...
Code:
Sub DeleteCertainColumns()
  With Range("R10:DA80")
    .Replace "All Prod", "#N/A", xlWhole, , False, , False, False
    .Replace "Total Prod Changes", "#N/A", xlWhole, , False, , False, False
    Intersect(.Rows(1), .SpecialCells(xlConstants, xlErrors).EntireColumn).EntireColumn.Delete
  End With
End Sub
