Delete rows if cells value, across all worksheets!?

[GassySpudz]

Hi All,

I've gotten myself in a right mess, sulked like a child and deleted all my work!

What I would like is the main body of a macro which I will hopefully adjust to what I need and I can call upon the sub within another macro.

I want to be able to delete multiple rows if column A cells contain a certain value (with the ability to add extra criteria in the future), but across ALL sheets!
I managed to get it working for a single sheet, but whilst using this site to get it to do all sheets it kept coming up with errors and during my “fixing” I’ve broken it, threw all my toys out the pram and just deleted everything!

If anyone has a code along these lines I can use to tinker with – and hopefully not break again – that would be much appreciated.

E.G
Delete x all sheets

X 2 A delete
B 2 A Keep
X 5 B Delete

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
Will the criteria be exact values, or will it be partial matches?

 

[GassySpudz]

Hi!

Thank for the fast response! It will be exact values I will manually edit in the macro. I would like to do it in a data range in the future so less capable bodies could edit, though i'll figure that out myself if you know if its even possible?

Ok, how about

Sub GassySpudz()
   Dim Ws As Worksheet
   Dim Ary As Variant
   
   Ary = Array("[COLOR=#ff0000]Hertfordshire[/COLOR]", "[COLOR=#ff0000]Wiltshire[/COLOR]")
   For Each Ws In Worksheets
      If Ws.AutoFilterMode Then Ws.AutoFilterMode = False
      Ws.Range("A1").AutoFilter 1, Ary, xlFilterValues
      Ws.AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1).EntireRow.Delete
      Ws.AutoFilterMode = False
   Next Ws
End Sub

Change values in red to suit.

Hi and thanks again!

It is running and deleting the data from one work sheet but showing an error when it tries to remove the filter and the yellow fault line is on the .delete row on VBA

What is the error message & number?

 

[GassySpudz]

Hi there!

Sorry for the late reply, please see error below!

Run-time error '91';

Object variable or With block variable not set

Thanks,
Zac

Not sure why you would be getting that error.
Do you have any merged cells?
Also does your data always start in A1 with a header on row 1?

Hello again!

Sorry about the late reply, I've been in and out of the office!

No merged cells, and yes A1 is the header and A2 downwards is the start of the data

Thanks,
Zac

Do the value(s) that you are filtering on actually exist in the sheet?
