Shift Rows Up After Row Deletion and Continually Repeat

[Guest]

Hello! I would greatly appreciate your expertise on opening up a text file
and deleting rows of data if they do not meet the format of "0.0", "1.0",
"2.0", etc. After that delete any empty rows and shift the rows up to form a
consecutive numbering sequence in column A. The order of operations should
not matter as long as it is efficient, the total number of rows I'm working
with is ~7K. Your time and expertise is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

D.Parker

Sub Delete_By_Criteria()
Dim i As Integer
Dim iLastRow As Integer
Dim Collet As String
Dim whatwant As String
Set wks = ActiveSheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

iLastRow = wks.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For i = iLastRow To 1 Step -1
If Not wks.Cells(i, 1).Value Like "*.0" Then
wks.Rows(i).Delete
End If
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

I ran this and it deleted "everything" on my sheet. I was looking for the
following:

1.0
2.0
3.0
4.0

and so on. Can you please re-advise?

Kind regards,

Is the data text or numeric?

You originally stated you opened a text file so I assumed the data was text.

The macro looks for text data and deletes any rows that do not contain *.0

When you open the *.txt file and the wizard pops, hit Next>Next>Column Data
Format. Check "Text" and Finish.

Now the macro should work.

Gord, I tried this and the same result when I ran the code. Everything on my
sheet was deleted, event my command button.

Just to clarify, I am opening a text file that is space, comma delimited and
thus the numbers in the column appear in the form 0.0000, 0.345, 1.2345,
2.987...and so on. I format the column with the numbers to only 1 decimal
place such that I can purge out any data that does not appear in the form
0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and so on. After this, if I have duplicate rows of 0.0,
0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0 and so on one row from each interger must be deleted
so I end up with 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc. I hope this clears up any
ambiguity.

I'm still puzzled why everything on the sheet gets deleted.

Kind regards,
