Hi , my question is how to loop through the range( column) and delete every 11th value if it is a number, or if it is not a text( both works).

Product
product name
123
123
1234
435
564
234
345
3245
NONO
234

So here on the 11th row, I have a text I would like it to be deleted ( whole row) if not text then loop skips.

Trying with my code but it doesn't work:

Code:
Sub deletenthifnumber()




Dim LastRow As Long
Dim x As Long






    LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "H").End(xlUp).row


    For x = LastRow To 1 Step -1 ' allways loop backwards when deleting rows
        If Not IsNumeric(Range("a" & x).Value Then
            .Rows(x).Delete
        End If
    Next x
End With


End Sub

First you say
delete every 11th value if it is a number, or if it is not a text( both works).
then you say
So here on the 11th row, I have a text I would like it to be deleted
These 2 statements contradict each other.
Which is correct?

Also please do not quote entire posts as it makes the thread harder to navigate & is normally unnecessary.

Well, I reckoned that if I know the code I can freely change it, but what I am after is = if it is a number value. So in my range("A:
A") if I start from the top and loop every 7th row if the value is a number I would like to delete a whole row, and then continue with the row below =y and so on. Does it make sense?

How about
Code:
Sub delrws()
   Dim Rng As Range
   Dim i As Long
   
   With Sheets("Sheet1")
      For i = 7 To .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row Step 7
         If IsNumeric(.Range("A" & i).Value) Then
            If Rng Is Nothing Then Set Rng = .Rows(i) Else Set Rng = Union(Rng, .Rows(i))
         End If
      Next i
      If Not Rng Is Nothing Then Rng.Delete
   End With
End Sub

Word of warning
IsNumeric has certain flaws which you can read about here. So it depends on your data as to whether it's suitable to use.
