How to delete all rows if any cells in the row contain certain values.

Hello,

I'm having a bit of trouble finding the most elegant way to prune some data from a spreadsheet that contains some stock price data.

Some of the data I have is incomplete and as a result, some of the rows contain the following string of data: "#N/A N/A"

What I'd like to be able to do is get a macro that looks for the last row in the spreadsheet that contains this string and delete every row where that occurs but stops at row 3

I was wondering if anyone knows if I might be able to do this. I have attached a copy of an example spreadsheet.

Many Thanks in advance for your suggestions,

Kindest Regards,
twills

Hi twills,
First of all in your sample file you have you have #NA in rows after 11 too. If I understand your request correctly, macro should delete all rows from 3 to 472 (this is the last row with #NA)
Why don't you use filter? Set the filter in row 2 and apply it for value #NA in column B.

will give you the last row with data that is visible.
Then you can delete the range from row 3 to r

I mean use filter with VBA, so no problem with "automation is priority". By the way if you want to delete only the rows where #NA is, then you can use SpecialCells method of Range objecy and use type xlCellTypeVisible. But if you think it could be messy - I don't have other idea.
Wish you luck and will look after this thread if someone suggest other solution
