I've searched, but couldn't find a solution to my problem. Basically, I have a sheet and I would like to delete the entire row if the data in column G is the same as that in column H. The data is text if that matter. I've tried to figure out the VBA code for it, but my knowledge is severely limited. The spreadsheet is excel 2010.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please help. :)
 

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Try:
Code:
Sub DelRows()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim LastRow As Long
    LastRow = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    Dim x As Long
    For x = LastRow To 2 Step -1
        If Cells(x, "G") = Cells(x, "H") Then
            Rows(x).EntireRow.Delete
        End If
    Next x
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
