    Question Remove all rows EXCEPT those with specific string in specific column

    Hello all,

    As the title says, I'm trying to modify a macro that was originally used to remove all rows containing a set of strings in specific columns, to now remove all rows except those with a specific string in a specific column.

    I have the following, which doesn't give any error but does not seem to do anything:

    I have attached a sample workbook with the original sheet ("Sheet1"), and a results sheet, along with the macro. Simply click on the button to run the macro, though as I said earlier, it won't do anything other than show a message.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Greg M.

    Works perfectly! Even allows for easy adjustment to allow for more than one exception strings.

    Thanks again!
