    At the moment your code loops until the active cell value is not 'Delete', then exits the loop, and since the If condition is not met does nothing.

    Are there multiple rows to be deleted? AutoFilter is a far better way to do this than looping, e.g.

    If the first cell isn't delete then the loop will stop

    See link for how to use loops

    Exclamation answer

    yeah there are lots of rows that need deleting, the reason my code says the above is because i have sorted the data so that the "delete" are all at the top.

    Here is my entire code for you to see,

    i changed it at the bottom so that the If criteria is inside the loop, although its not working, please feel free to modify this code to increase the speed and make it easier.

    I've used AutoFilter. The code below assumes you have a header row starting in A1 and your block of data is contiguous, ie no completely blank rows in it.

    That's what it should do. Can you attach a sample workbook?

    Just a sample of a few rows would do, but perhaps you have a masochistic streak ...
