How to Delete Rows in Excel Worksheet based on a Criteria

Question

I have an excel workbook, in worksheet1 in Column A, IF the value of that column = ERR I want it to be deleted (the entire row), how is that possible?

PS: keep in mind t

Answer 1

  sub delete_err_rows()
      Dim Wbk as Excel.workbook  'create excel workbook object
      Dim Wsh as worksheet       ' create excel worksheet object 
      Dim Last_row as long
      Dim i as long
      Set Wbk = Thisworkbook ' im using thisworkbook, assuming current workbook
                             ' if you want any other workbook just give the name 
                             ' in invited comma as "workbook_name"
      Set Wsh ="sheetname"   ' give the sheet name here 
      Wbk.Wsh.activate
     ' it means Thisworkbook.sheets("sheetname").activate
     ' here the sheetname of thisworkbook is activated
     ' or if you want looping between sheets use thisworkbook.sheets(i).activate
     ' put it in loop , to loop through the worksheets
     ' use thisworkbook.worksheets.count to find number of sheets in workbook
     Last_row = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.count, 1).End(xlUp).Row 'to find the lastrow of the activated sheet
          For i = lastrow To 1 step -1
             if activesheet.cells(i,"A").value = "yourDesiredvalue"
                  activesheet.cells(i,"A").select  ' select the row
                  selection.entirerow.delete       ' now delete the entire row
             end if
          Next i
   end sub

Note any operations that you do using activesheet , will be affected on the currently activated sheet

As your saying your a begginner, why dont you record a macro and check out, Thats the greatest way to automate your process by seeing the background code

Just find the macros tab on the sheet and click record new macro , then select any one of the row and do what you wanted to do , say deleting the entire row, just delete the entire row and now go back to macros tab and click stop recording .

Now click alt+F11 , this would take you to the VBA editor there you find some worksheets and modules in the vba project explorer field , if you dont find it search it using the view tab of the VBA editor, Now click on module1 and see the recorded macro , you will find something like these

        selection.entirerow.delete

I hope i helped you a bit , and if you need any more help please let me know, Thanks
