Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.

Hi & welcome to MrExcel
How about
Code: 
Sub Coosa41()
   Dim Cl As Range
   With Range("A1", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      .Replace "Period", True, xlWhole, , False, , False, False
      For Each Cl In .SpecialCells(xlConstants, xlLogical).Areas
         Cl.Resize(3).EntireRow.Delete
      Next Cl
   End With
End Sub
