Hi Community,

I have this macro that I modified from a previous post. The macro finds a text , in this case, "ABC" and, then from this active cell down to the last cell, it deletes entire rows that contains a value of "1" or "2"
At the moment, the text "ABC" is located in column G but sometimes it is located in another column.

Ideally this macro will operate from the active cell down to the last row (yes, there are black cells down the range). At the moment I have locked column ":g" in the macro below. However, sometimes is column "p" or any other column. Would someone please assist to make this part dynamic? Much appreciated!!



VBA Code:
Sub DeletefromActiveCell()

LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "d").End(xlUp).Row

  Range("a1:r200").Select
 Selection.Find(what:="ABC", LookIn:=xlValues).Select

 For Each Cell In Range(ActiveCell.Address & ":g" & LastRow)
 If Cell.Value = "1" Or Cell.Value = "2" Then
 Cell.EntireRow.Delete
 End If
 Next


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Which line is highlighted when that happens?
Put the values between double quotation marks, as below, and see what happens

BTW, if cell values are numbers, the code should be
Code:
If Cells(i, col).Value = 1 Or Cells(i, col).Value = 2 Then Cells(i, col).EntireRow.Delete
If the values are text, the code should be
Code:
If Cells(i, col).Value = "1" Or Cells(i, col).Value = "2" Then Cells(i, col).EntireRow.Delete
To convert a value that could be a number, either use CDbl or multiply it by one (1)

On an trial sheet, I formatted the used range as "General", ran the macro, formatted as "Text", ran the macro and formatted as "Number" and ran the macro.
With all three, it worked as advertised.
Code:
If Cells(i, col).Value = CStr(1) Or Cells(i, col).Value = CStr(2) Then Cells(i, col).EntireRow.Interior.Color = vbGreen
