Hi,

I have a spreadsheet which contains the words HM or NON HM in column A. I have wrote macro to sort data so HM comes first but what I want to do now is have a macro which finds the first instance of NON HM, then deletes that row and all subsequent rows below. Can anyone help?
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Try

Code:
Sub NONHM()
Dim LR As Long, Found As Range
LR = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set Found = Columns("A").Find(what:="NON HM", LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
If Not Found Is Nothing Then Rows(Found.Row & ":" & LR).Delete
End Sub

My very basic way (I'm learning !)

Sub Macro1()
Range("A1").Select

Cells.Find(What:="non HM", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _
False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
r = ActiveCell.Row

Rows(r & ":65536").EntireRow.Delete

End Sub

Sub NONHM()
Dim LR As Long, Found As Range
LR = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set Found = Columns("A").Find(what:="NON HM", LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
If Not Found Is Nothing Then Rows(Found.Row & ":" & LR).Delete
End Sub

How would you write this to delete all rows above this that are 5 days older than Todays date?

LR = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set Found = Columns("A").Find(what:="NON HM", LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
If Not Found Is Nothing Then Rows(Found.Row & ":" & LR).Delete
End Sub

This is exactly the code I want but what could I change to make it delete all of the rows above "NON HM"? Also, can I change lookat:=xWhole to a different value since the word I am looking for is part of a title, not in a cell by itself.

Also sorry if I wasn't supposed to reuse an old thread but I tried reading thru the forum rules and couldn't find anything that said not to.
