    VB Code - Cell(Lx)= (x) then delete row (x)

    Can anyone help me here? I'm in need of a VB Code.

    I need the code to do the following:

    If any cell in column "L" = "n/a" then delete that corresponding row.

    IE - Cell L23 = n/a so then delete row 23.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hmm...you could also do it with an AutoFilter. This does the deleting of rows in one step...definitely faster.

    Hey guys, is there a way to do the opposite of this.

    Example. - if "l2" doesnt exist , delete row ?

    That doesn't make sense, sorry. How are you asking to evaluate the cell? if I2 is blank? Or empty? Then delete row2?

    Re: VB Code - Cell(Lx)= (x) then delete row (x)

    sorry mate - my mistake.

    I was hoping to do a DELETE ROW if multiple values do NOT exist.
    The value can be into the thousands - because i only need the results which include 25 values.

    It might be possible to get a script to run through the sheet and delete and row , if it does not contain one of my 25 value's.

    So it would be a ARRAY ??

    Yes, you can loop through a dataset and compare a cell's value to a list and delete the row if it does not match any of your values.

    oh mate, thats excellent.

    is there any chance you could explain how this line works

    Case "Dog", "Cat", 10 to 20, 99, "Bird"

    I was hoping to use something like this first - so i can easily modify it later to suit.

    vlist = array("test01", "Test07", "Test21", "Test94")
    case = vlist


    ????

    Hi guys,

    How could I smilarly do the following;
    where their are 4 text values which could match multiple numbers .eg a row is completely deleted if one of the numbers matches one of the 4 text values on the same row.

    thanking in advance

    The code in post 10 showed how to LEAVE the rows alone if they matched specific things, and delete the rest. You can use the same code but put the "delete" code into the section that is matching the text strings.
