I am very rusty on VBA and need some help!
I need to delete rows within a range (rows 6 to 85) if the value in Column A does not equal B2.
I have pasted some example data below

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 433"]
<colgroup><col><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Both codes should work.
I'm thinking along on the same lines as James.
In a blank cell enter =LEN(B2)
& in another blank cell enter =LEN(A7) Pointing to a cell that = B2
Do both formulae give the same results?

They both worked, I went back and did a thorough check, I'd added an extra space in between a first and last name!
It is really appreciated, saved me from going completely crazy!
