How to delete multiple rows based on meeting a criteria of matching data?

[ordinaryassistant]

Based on a spreadsheet monitoring attendance, I'm looking for a more efficient way of deleting rows in the below screenshot based on a row hitting more then 4 zeros in a row.
There is currently 800 rows and it is tedious to go through individual rows to delete as identified by the rows highlighted in red.
If anyone could provide any tips or hints that would be extremely appreciated.

Hi ordinaryassistant,

Welcome to MrExcel!!

Try the following macro while on the tab with the data. Note to first run it on a copy of your data as the results cannot be undone if they're not as expected. Note also that I've assumed the four columns you referred to are D to G (inclusive).

Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()

    Dim lngMyRow   As Long
    Dim lngLastRow As Long
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    lngLastRow = Range("A:G").Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    
    For lngMyRow = lngLastRow To 3 Step -1
        If Evaluate("SUM(D" & lngMyRow & ":G" & lngMyRow & ")") = 0 Then
            Rows(lngMyRow).EntireRow.Delete
        End If
    Next lngMyRow
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

That's perfect thank you so much!
