So hi,

First off, thank you to NoSparks who helped me previously, was a great help & deserves a 'callout.'

Issue I need help with.

I'm trying to delete rows from a table based on a value contained of cells in a particular column. I can do it manually however using the recorded macro, it deletes 'all' information in the spreadsheet.

I'm highlighting a column that has the specific value 'Yes' in it that i want to delete the rows of. I CRTL F, do 'find all' on value 'Yes', then CRTL A to highlight all these cells. Next step is closing the FIND / FIND REPLACE box and CRTL -, choose Entire Row in the Delete box and click the OK button. This is when it deletes ALL data in the spreadsheet instead of just the rows of the highlighted cells.

Code below

Sub Macro4()
'
' Macro4 Macro
'


'
Windows("usage for Macro 4 code example.xls").Activate
Columns("G:G").Select
Selection.EntireRow.Delete
Windows("! Contract review Macro APP.xlsm").Activate
End Sub


As you can see it records nothing of the specific "Yes" value in which to delete the rows containing and I don't know enough yet to work it out.

Thank you for any assistance.

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
try use this once you have all your yes cells selected

Code:
Sub deleterowstest1()

Selection.EntireRow.Delete

End Sub

So are you saying if Yes is in column G you want that entire row deleted

So if Row(3) column G has Yes then you want Row(3) deleted is this what you want.

And if Yes in in Row(5) column G you want Row(5) deleted.

Maybe something like this...
It will delete all rows that have a "Yes" in Column "G"....you don't need to select them, just run the code on the active sheet

Code:
Sub MM()
With Columns("G")
    .AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="Yes"
    .Resize(Rows.Count - 1).Offset(1).EntireRow.Delete
    .AutoFilter
End With
End Sub

Perhaps.....

Code:
Sub DeleteRws()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

With ActiveSheet.[A1].CurrentRegion
                .AutoFilter 7, "Yes"
                .Offset(1).EntireRow.Delete
                .AutoFilter
End With
                
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

I hope that this helps.

Cheerio,
