This DELETE ROW sub below is working but I want to add the condition that it is to only delete the row when a "1" value in the first table column (called data[x]). How do I syntax this to the code?


VBA Code:
Sub DeleteRow()
    
    Dim question As String
    Dim rowNumber As Long
    
        rowNumber = ActiveCell.Row
    
    
        question = "Are you sure" & "?"

        If MsgBox(question, vbOKCancel + vbCritical + vbDefaultButton2, "DELETE RECORD") = vbOK Then
                
                Rows(rowNumber).EntireRow.Delete
        
                Else
            
            Exit Sub
        
        End If

End Sub

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Maybe this. Not tested. Try on a copy.

VBA Code:
Sub DeleteRow()
    Dim question As String
    Dim rowNumber As Long

    rowNumber = ActiveCell.Row

    If Range("data[x]").Cells(rowNumber).Value = 1 Then
        question = "Are you sure you want to delete this record?"
        If MsgBox(question, vbOKCancel + vbCritical + vbDefaultButton2, "DELETE RECORD") = vbOK Then
            Rows(rowNumber).EntireRow.Delete
        Else
            Exit Sub
        End If
    Else
        MsgBox "You can only delete rows with a value of '1' in the first column.", vbExclamation, "Invalid Deletion"
    End If
End Sub

Unfortunately this did not work

Does your table start in row 1? Row 1 of Excel might not be row 1 of your table.
Edit: Better yet, why not just delete all rows with "1" instead of just the active row?

Row 1 is always in the first row of the table (not the sheet).
See the example below. When you call rowNum = ActiveCell.Row. This is row 5 of Excel, but the row of your table is 4. Better yet, why not just delete all rows with "1" instead of just the active row?

Ok thanks. I'll try to figure out sharing sheets. In my table I have it setup so that only one row can have a "1" in the first column for a myriad of other calculations. I only need the "DELETE ROW" macro to delete the 1 table row that has the "1" in it.

This works for me. See if this works for you.

VBA Code:
Sub DeleteRowsWithValueOne()
    Dim question As String
    Dim dataTable As ListObject
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim i As Long
    Dim rowsToDelete As Range
    Set rowsToDelete = Nothing
   
    ' Assuming you want to work with the active sheet
    Set ws = ActiveSheet
   
    ' Assuming "Data" is the name of your table
    Set dataTable = ws.ListObjects("Data")
   
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
   
    ' Loop through each row in the table
    For i = dataTable.ListRows.Count To 1 Step -1 ' Looping backwards to avoid issues with deleting rows
        ' Check if the value in column "x" of the current row is 1
        If dataTable.DataBodyRange.Cells(i, dataTable.ListColumns("x").Index).Value = 1 Then
            ' Add the entire row to the range to be deleted
            If rowsToDelete Is Nothing Then
                Set rowsToDelete = dataTable.ListRows(i).Range
            Else
                Set rowsToDelete = Union(rowsToDelete, dataTable.ListRows(i).Range)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
    ' Prompt the user to confirm deletion
    If Not rowsToDelete Is Nothing Then
        question = "Are you sure you want to delete?"
        If MsgBox(question, vbOKCancel + vbCritical + vbDefaultButton2, "DELETE RECORDS") = vbOK Then
            ' Delete all rows at once
            rowsToDelete.Delete
        End If
    End If
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True 
End Sub
