Deleting rows based on a cell value

[JPriest]

Good morning,
I have a very large worksheet, some 15,000 entries, and I would like to
delete all the rows with "no" in col G. Is there a macro for this?

Thank you in advance,
Jeff

Hi Ron,

I checked that link out this morning and followed the instructions, bu
everytime I ran the Macro, i got an error, 4683 if i recall correctly.

Any suggestions?

As a follow-up; what's a good source to learn VBA? any suggeste
sites/readings?

To do more, I'd like to know more

Hi JPriest

Which example do you use?

Try this first :

Here is a filter example
In this Example "G1" is the header cell.

If your header start in G4 then change the range to G4:G15000

Sub Delete_with_Autofilter()
Dim DeleteValue As String
Dim rng As Range

DeleteValue = "no"
' This will delete the rows with "no" in the Range("G1:G15000")
With ActiveSheet
.Range("G1:G15000").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=DeleteValue
With ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Range
On Error Resume Next
Set rng = .Offset(1, 0).Resize(.Rows.Count - 1, 1) _
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
On Error GoTo 0
If Not rng Is Nothing Then rng.EntireRow.Delete

End With
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With
End Sub
