Hello execl people

I am running execl 2019 I wanted to record a macro to find a value and selcet all the rows it is found in then using the keyboard shortcut ctrl+- to delete the entire row but the macro did not record a single thing.

Can any one advise if this is an operator/setting issue or if macro recording has some issue with the search function?
I tried with all keyboard shortcuts and mouse clicks but no luck....

all I get is the below and the stuff it did record was not the actual function I wanted....

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'

'
Selection.EntireRow.Delete
End Sub

Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Hi,​
as it may depend on what you have operated during the record … Try without any shorcut.​

did both clicks and shortcuts nothing worked.

When you bring up the search box and type in your criteria to search and find all nothing is recorded in the macro

The more recent Excel version, the less Macro Recorder abilities …​
The reason why I keep my old Excel 2003 version, the best version for recording !​

The Find All will not record as you cannot do a Find All in VBA.

I cannot say that I have noticed or experienced that at all.

How about using Filters on your data, and then delete all the hidden (or unhidden rows)? I do that a lot with Excel.
If you need help, please post a sample of your data along with your conditions, so I can see what the data structure is.

According to Fluff's post, try a record for a single find or just following the VBA help sample of the Range.Find method …​
