Deleting a Row if it contains a specific word

[Guest]

I want to develop a macro that will search through a worksheet and delete any
row(s) that contains the word "Step". The word could occur anywhere within
any cell in the row.

Thanks for any help offered.

Hi Steve

Look here for a few ways

Try

Sub Example1()
Dim Firstrow As Long
Dim Lastrow As Long
Dim Lrow As Long
Dim CalcMode As Long
Dim ViewMode As Long

With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With

ViewMode = ActiveWindow.View
ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView

Firstrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Cells(1).Row
Lastrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count + Firstrow - 1

With ActiveSheet
.DisplayPageBreaks = False
For Lrow = Lastrow To Firstrow Step -1

If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(.Rows(Lrow), "Step") > 0 Then
.Rows(Lrow).Delete
End If

Next
End With

ActiveWindow.View = ViewMode
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.Calculation = CalcMode
End With

End Sub
