    Row checker program

    Hi Group, I need to find a program that will identify rows which have the same numbers in it and delete it. For example I have multiple rows of data and I want to go through each one and find and delete the rows which have the number 1 in it more than 4 times. Any idea how to start or use a function which compares values in a row?

    Thanks.

    Hello sgrondines,

    This macro will delete the entire row if a cell in column "A" contains 4 or more "1"s. You can change the column if needed.

    Awesome Leith.

    Here's a slight amendment, just in case this macro is being run on a HUGE dataset, it only does a single deletion at the end of the macro, might be a faster option:
