Find in Excel 2000

[gary]

FIND locates the FIRST cell containing the text or number
entered in the "Find What:" box.

FIND NEXT locates the NEXT cell containing the text or
number.

Instead of doing many FIND NEXT and DELETE/ENTIRE ROW
actions, is there a way to locate ALL cells containing the
text or number, mark the rows that contain those cells,
and then delete the marked rows in one action?

Hi Gary,

Select all of the rows that you wish to search amongst. Turn on AutoFilter
(Data>Filter>AutoFilter), click the arrow above the column that contains the
values you wish to search for. (If they can appear in more than one column,
you may need to do this a column at a time, or await a VBA solution).
Select the value from the list that appears, and the list will be filtered
to display only those rows - at this point the hidden rows are still
selected so press Alt+; to select only those displayed. Now you can delete
all of those rows at once.
