I want to delete Rows,
First Criteria - when Col A is Null value
Second Criteria when Col H is less than 99 or a certain number that I specify in Cell H5

this below vba...runs very slow as the rows are about 85000

Sub delrow() 'DELETES ANY ROW IN COLUMN "H" THAT IS BLANK
Dim i As Long
For i = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row To 10 Step -1
If Range("H" & i).Value < 99 Then Rows(i).Delete
Next i
End Sub

Can I have a vba, that sorts Col A from A to Z, and at the first instance of a Null value....deletes everthing below it

and then sorts Col H from Highest to Lowest, and at the first instance, when cell in H Column is below 99...it deletes everyhing below it.

Thanks.....
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Code:
Public Sub DeleteRows()


    Dim SmallCells As Range
    Dim Cell As Range
    Dim MinVal As Double
    
    With Sheet1
        
        MinVal = .Range("H5").Value
    
        With .Range("H10")              ' The header in column H
        For Each Cell In .Range(.Offset(1, 0), .End(xlDown).End(xlDown).End(xlUp)).Cells
        
            If Cell.Value < MinVal Then ' Here's one to delete


                If SmallCells Is Nothing _
                Then Set SmallCells = Cell _
                Else Set SmallCells = Union(Cell, SmallCells)
                                        ' Gather the cells with small values first
            End If
        
        Next
                                        ' Delete all small-cells rows in one shot
        If Not (SmallCells Is Nothing) Then SmallCells.EntireRow.Delete


    End With


End Sub

Actually it works on your sample. Maybe what you have isn't really blank.
Try this:

Code:
[FONT=lucida console][COLOR=Royalblue]Sub[/COLOR] a1088408c()

Application.ScreenUpdating = [COLOR=Royalblue]False[/COLOR]
z = Range([COLOR=brown]"A:A"[/COLOR]).Find([COLOR=brown]"*"[/COLOR], SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
[COLOR=Royalblue]Set[/COLOR] r = Range([COLOR=brown]"A10:H"[/COLOR] & z)
r.Sort Key1:=r.Cells([COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR], [COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR]), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes
x = Range([COLOR=brown]"A:A"[/COLOR]).Find([COLOR=brown]"*"[/COLOR], SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
Range(Cells(x + [COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR], [COLOR=brown]"A"[/COLOR]), Cells(z + [COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR], [COLOR=brown]"H"[/COLOR])).ClearContents
[COLOR=Royalblue]Set[/COLOR] r = Range([COLOR=brown]"A10:H"[/COLOR] & x)
r.Sort Key1:=r.Cells([COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR], [COLOR=crimson]8[/COLOR]), order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlYes

        [COLOR=Royalblue]If[/COLOR] va(i, [COLOR=crimson]1[/COLOR]) >= Range([COLOR=brown]"H5"[/COLOR]) [COLOR=Royalblue]Then[/COLOR] flag = [COLOR=Royalblue]True[/COLOR]: [COLOR=Royalblue]Exit[/COLOR] [COLOR=Royalblue]For[/COLOR]
