    Deleting rows based on criteria

    Hi there,

    I wonder whether you can help, I have a spreadsheet that has a number of sheets containing user names and data in rows.

    I currently have a front sheet with a marco that allows me to add a new user to all the sheets.

    However, every time I want to remove a user I need to go into each sheet and delete the row.

    If I type the name I want to delete on the front sheet, is there a marco that can copy the name from the front sheet find it in all the other sheet and delete the rows where the name appears?

    Thanks

    Mark

    Does the name always appear in the same Column?
    Hope that helps.

    I would do something like this, so even if the username is in a different column it will still find it.

    Thanks

    When you say "user name" can this be a cell reference? Or will this need to be an actual name?

    Either, you can place the username in the code or you could point it at a cell that contains the username like this:

    The above would look for the username in cell A1 and you can change this to any cell you like.

    This works a treat, many thanks!!

    However, it does seem to delete the row on the front sheet where I input the name aswell. Is there anyway to omit a sheet?

    This is the code in action:-
