Please could anyone help me with this, it's for my dissertation and aims to delete all the data in a spreadsheet that isn't required (as it is a standardized set of data which is unneeded).

I'm getting the error 'Compile error: Argument not optional' but have no idea why.

Any help would be so greatly appreciated.

Click to expand...

What Norie meant was what is on those rows that led you to select them for deletion? For example, do they all contain a certain word in a certain Column or, perhaps, do they not contain a certain word there? The point of my lead-off comment and Norie's question is that VB coding can be made to eliminate lots of dog-work like you are apparently doing and if you can tell us what you are using to decide on the rows to be deleted, someone here would be happy to write the macro for you (it will be a lot shorter and quicker than what you seem to be doing now).

I think you are running into the problem I mention about how long the argument the Range call can be... I didn't count it, but that first one looks to be longer than 255 characters. If you can show us a sample of your data (both the data you want to keep and the data you want to eliminate) and tell us how you are choosing the row numbers you have selected for deletion (what is in, or not in, the cells of those rows that makes you know you want to delete them?), someone here would be more than willing to try and make a short macro to do all the work you are trying to do manually.

There's no easy way to distinguish useful data compared to useless data. The data that needs to be removed are just in the exact same rows each time, despite the content changing.

Even with lines smaller than 255 chars it still gives me the same error;

The fact that the row are always the same is a condition that can be used. Here is a macro that you can use...
Rich (BB code): 
Sub DeleteUnwantedRows()
  Dim X As Long, DeleteThese() As String
  Const RowsToDelete As String = "2 3 4 5 7 13 19 20 21 22 27 30 31 32 33 42 43 44 45"
  DeleteThese = Split(RowsToDelete)
  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  For X = UBound(DeleteThese) To 0 Step -1
    Rows(DeleteThese(X)).Delete
  Next
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
  MsgBox "Done!"
End Sub
The only thing you have to do is list the line numbers in a single-space separated list as shown in red above (the list can be up to 2 billion characters long, so you should not run into any limits). Note the numbers are listed singly, by themselves, without colons or commas. The code could take some time to execute, so I put a message box at the end to signal you when the code has finished.

I'm guessing all but the last set of row worked... you omitted a comma in the text I highlighted in red for that statment.

Actually, the code would have died on the first statement as you added a space where it doesn't belong (see the red text)...
