    Compare 2 rows for different criteria

    Hi all,

    I've come to a problem that I can't figure out and humble ask for some guidance. I'm not sure how to best describe what the report is but I can describe what I need it to do. I want the macro to:

    compare E2 to E1
    If E2/E1 match, then compare D2 to D1
    If D2/D1 match then go to the next line and compare E3 to E2
    If D2/D1 don't match, delete row 2.
    If E2/E1 don't match, then go to the next line and compare E3 to E2

    I want this to run on every line all the way through to the end of the report. I feel like this should be easy to program but I'm new to vba and most of what I've learned has been by doing it in a macro then reverse engineering it. Thanks so much for the help!

    It would be better if you upload a sample workbook with some sample data in it and highlight the rows which you want to delete as per your criteria with an explanation in the sheet itself. To do so your sample workbook may contain two worksheets "Before" and "After". In the Before sheet just input some sample data and in After sheet display the desired output.

    Sometimes the count goes up to 4 but it is rare. This highlights in yellow the ones I want to delete but highlights in green the ones I don't. Unfortunately, I found that it highlighted in yellow an incorrect one. Here is what it did:


    Jones, Bob ABC123456789 03/22/2013 1 481333-026 $0.00 MO 0 63,126.45
    Jones, Bob EFG123456789 05/02/2013 2 481333-026 $0.00 MO 0 65,189.32

    It highlighted the first row green and second row yellow. I'm not sure why.


    ***sorry for the formatting, Im not sure how to spread it out so it's clearer to read***
