Delete Row if value <>

[Aaron]

I have the following code that should delete any row that doesn't have the
value of Defective in my range but it is deleting everything. Please help.

lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

For Each c In ActiveSheet.Range("C2:C" & lastrow)
If c.Value = "DEFECTIVE" Then
Else
Selection.EntireRow.delete
End If
Next

Thanks in advance, Aaron

It's case sensitive, so "DEFECTIVE" is <> "Defective".

use if lcase(c.value)="defective"

Hi Aaron

Check out this page for example code
http://www.rondebruin.nl/delete.htm

When you delete rows always start at the bottom and go up

Sorry that is just how I wrote in in the message, I have the "DEFECTIVE" in
the code matching the exact way the cell value is showing.

Worked great except it deleted the header row??
How can I change it?

Show us the macro you use

 

[Aaron]

Sub Loop_Example()
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

'We use the ActiveSheet but you can replace this with
'Sheets("MySheet")if you want
With ActiveSheet

'We select the sheet so we can change the window view
.Select

'If you are in Page Break Preview Or Page Layout view go
'back to normal view, we do this for speed
ViewMode = ActiveWindow.View
ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView

'Turn off Page Breaks, we do this for speed
.DisplayPageBreaks = False

'Set the first and last row to loop through
Firstrow = .UsedRange.Cells(1).Row
Lastrow = .UsedRange.Rows(.UsedRange.Rows.Count).Row

'We loop from Lastrow to Firstrow (bottom to top)
For Lrow = Lastrow To Firstrow Step -1

'We check the values in the A column in this example
With .Cells(Lrow, "C")

If Not IsError(.Value) Then

If .Value <> "HP DEFECTIVE" Then .EntireRow.delete
'This will delete each row with the Value "ron"
'in Column A, case sensitive.

End If

End With

Next Lrow

End With

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

End Sub

Hi Aaron

Change

Firstrow = .UsedRange.Cells(1).Row

To

Firstrow = 2

Worked prefect! Thanks!

Hi Aaron

Change

Firstrow = .UsedRange.Cells(1).Row

To
