I am having many kinds of names in my excel sheet. Now i need only one particular name. So i am filterting that name, now the excel will display only the rows where the selected name is present(say its 10th and 13th row.) Now when i right click and give delete rows, excel crashes.

As per my initial analyses i found out that the data area given by excel is giving wrongly. When i press control and choose the 10th and 13th row, it got deleted. I debug and try to see the difference between both. When i press control and delete, in the range i got area to be deleted as " range = area #1 = [PSet_Signal_Editor.xls]Signals!$13:$13; area #2 = [PSet_Signal_Editor.xls]Signals!$10:$10; "( the area of 10th and 13th row) but when i filter and delete the rows i got the target range as " range = area #1 = [PSet_Signal_Editor.xls]Signals!$A$13:$F$13; area #2 = [PSet_Signal_Editor.xls]Signals!$H$13:$IV$13; area #3 = [PSet_Signal_Editor.xls]Signals!$A$10:$F$10; area #4 = [PSet_Signal_Editor.xls]Signals!$H$10:$IV$10;"

I got 4 areas like from A to F; H to IV, I dont kw why the area is spliting like this. So when I try to get the count of the data area its giving the wrong count and excel crashes. As the data area is getting from excel, in my project i cant do anything. So is there any work around to do im my project, so that i can get the area correcly using that getcount() method. In my getcount() method, i shud get the same value as pressing control and when filtering.

Please give your valuable suggestions
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
I too am having this issue of crashes caused by attempts to delete rows, with or without filtering. It could be a memory issue. My suggestion would be to first delete the contents of the rows that you would like to delete, then sort them so that the blank rows are last and then delete them. Also, try the operation on a computer with more memory. I should mention that I'm using excel 2011 for mac and this is only one of many issues I'm having.
