vba code to search column B for the words "Thermal Mixer" and when found to clear the contents (not delete) of that row. The row where "Thermal Mixer" is found will vary and there may be multiple instances on the sheet. Main point is to keep the row count the same.

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Hello,

Try below code
VBA Code:
Sub ForEachCell()
    Dim Cell As Range
    
    For Each Cell In Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:F12")
        If Cell.Value = "Thermal Mixer" Then Cell.EntireRow.ClearContents
    Next Cell
    
End Sub

End Sub
Thank you for the response but this is not working for me. I even changed "Sheet1" to my actual sheet name and nothing

Hi @londa_vba . I hope you are well.

Try this.
I assume you have header, so change the 1 in this line if the header is in another row.
ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1).EntireRow.ClearContents

VBA Code:
Sub Macro2()
  ActiveSheet.Range("A1:B" & Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(3).Row).AutoFilter 2, "=*Thermal Mixer*"
  ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1).EntireRow.ClearContents
  Range("A1").AutoFilter
End Sub

Let me know the result and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Cordially

Yes that was the issue. I had a header in row 1 and 2 so setting offset to 2 worked for me. Thank you
