In which column does the word reside?

I checked your file and found the word Inventories in column K. However, if you delete every row that contains that word in column K, you wont be left with any data.

Hi Arlu actually the word"inventories" is in column "J" and when I delete the rows with that word then we are left with the below details

To Cost Centre: General - Ghala
From Cost Centre: General - Salalah

From Cost Centre: J02L-12 ELECTRICAL WORKS-CORNISH MUTTRAH - AL HABIB BUILDING

Hi Arlu thats a really useful Macro it works great, but is there any way to speed it up? Im using it to read about 1500 rows.

Im new to VBA but essentially can =lrow (see below) be set to a row number to speed things up?

For i = lrow To 4 Step -1
