Hi everybody
I want a code that could delete entire row if the cell value doesn't contain specific text say "man"
 

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
If your target is to retain the rows where word "man" (precisely!) is found then try the following code on a backup sheet:
Code:
Public Sub DelRow()
Dim r As Range, rFind As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set rFind = Range("A1:A100").Find(What:="man", After:=Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlFormulas, Lookat:=xlWhole)
If Not rFind Is Nothing Then
    Set r = Range("A1:A100").ColumnDifferences(Comparison:=rFind)
    If Not r Is Nothing Then r.EntireRow.Delete: Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox "Search Word : Man is not found!"
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Then try this, hard coded for 100 rows
Code:
Public Sub DelRow2()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = 100 To 1 Step -1
    If InStr(Range("A" & i).Value, "man") = 0 Then Range("A" & i).EntireRow.Delete
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
