Hi

I've got a list 4 statuses in column U of a Sheet (Active, Inactive, Pending Active and Pending Inactive).

I thought this code would work, but it deletes ALL 4 options, instead of leaving the Active rows.

Does anyone know how to modify this so that it deletes everything BUT the Active rows, please?

Also, do I need to repeat the code for every option?

TIA

VBA Code:
    On Error Resume Next
    With ActiveSheet
        .Range("U1:U").AutoFilter 20, "Inactive"
        .AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1).EntireRow.Delete
        .Automodefilter = False
    End With
    On Error GoTo 0
    
        On Error Resume Next
    With ActiveSheet
        .Range("U1:U").AutoFilter 20, "Pending Inactive"
        .AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1).EntireRow.Delete
        .Automodefilter = False
    End With
    On Error GoTo 0
    
        On Error Resume Next
    With ActiveSheet
        .Range("U1:U").AutoFilter 20, "Pending Active"
        .AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1).EntireRow.Delete
        .Automodefilter = False
    End With
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    If ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = True Then ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False

Status
Inactive
Active
Pending Inactive
Pending Active
 

Excel Facts

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Try this:

VBA Code:
Sub Deleting_Options()
  With ActiveSheet
    If .AutoFilterMode Then .AutoFilterMode = False
    .Range("A1:U" & .Range("U" & Rows.Count).End(3).Row).AutoFilter 21, Array("Inactive", "Pending Active", "Pending Inactive"), xlFilterValues
    .AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1).EntireRow.Delete
    .ShowAllData
  End With
End Sub

Hi Dante

Thanks for the prompt response.

I tried that, but then got a "Run time error: 1004. Autofilter method of range of class failed."

Do you know why that may have happened?

And thanks for the other solution that you posted recently, on a different question - it was helpful!!

Also, the number of rows of data will vary....

I don't know if that will make a difference to how the code needs to be written?

It works for me, maybe the excel version.

Here another approach
VBA Code:
Sub Delete_Option_2()
  Dim lr As Long, i As Long, a, r As Range
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  
  If ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode Then ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False
  lr = Range("U" & Rows.Count).End(3).Row
  Set r = Range("A" & lr + 1)
  a = Range("U2:U" & lr)
  For i = 1 To UBound(a)
    Select Case a(i, 1)
      Case "Inactive", "Pending Active", "Pending Inactive"
        Set r = Union(r, Range("A" & i + 1))
    End Select
  Next i
  r.EntireRow.Delete
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Try this:

VBA Code:
Sub Deleting_Options()
  With ActiveSheet
    If .AutoFilterMode Then .AutoFilterMode = False
    .Range("A1:U" & .Range("U" & Rows.Count).[S][COLOR=rgb(209, 72, 65)]End(3)[/COLOR][/S].Row).AutoFilter 21, Array("Inactive", "Pending Active", "Pending Inactive"), xlFilterValues
    .AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1).EntireRow.Delete
    .ShowAllData
  End With
End Sub
For anyone searching like mad for a fix for this. This works with one small change!
Remove the End(3).
