Good morning - I am new to macros and would like some advice on a macro to help me delete rows in a worksheet that don't contain certain names.
The example is that column F in my worksheet has a list of people's names and I need to delete all the names apart from one. So, for example, if the name was "M MOUSE", how can I delete all the rows in the sheet starting on row 6 that don't contain "M MOUSE"?
Any help is much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
How is that one name decided? Will you need a popup box to ask the user to specify the name? Or should the macro take it from a particular cell?

A pop up box would be ideal but if there is code available for both options, that would be very handy indeed!
This is the code for the popup box.
This is the code if the name is provided in a cell -
