Greetings all,

I am trying to run a script which is supposed to delete the visible rows from a table I've filtered. However, when the script is ran it comes up with error msg: :warning: "Runtime error '1004': Delete method of range class failed. :eeek:

I have tried it two different ways, based on solutions I've found through MrExcel, StackOverflow, and Ozgrid.

Code:
Sub RemoveVisibleRows()
'Removes Visible rows, discluding the header

'Method 1
    Worksheets("IncidentData").Range("A1:A100000").Offset(1,0).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete

'Method 2: (currently ' out)
    'Range("A2:A100000").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete
    
End Sub
I've tried some other, lengthier, solutions as well to no avail. If you have any ideas I'm all ears, because I cannot figure it out. :confused:

If needed, here are some of the solution pages I had used:
https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel...w-delete-autofiltered-rows-except-header.html

https://www.ozgrid.com/forum/forum/...sible-rows-after-auto-filter-exclude-headings

Sincerely,
Kristopher

supposed to delete the visible rows from a table
Try
Code:
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1").DataBodyRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Is it important/desirable to delete the entire worksheet row rather than just the rows from the table?
This should just delete rows from the table area, not the whole sheet.
I have also made the assumption that after deletion you would want to remove any filters from the table to show any remaining data.
Code:
Sub DelTblRows()
  Dim rng As Range
  
  With ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table1")
    Set rng = .DataBodyRange.SpecialCells(xlVisible)
    If .AutoFilter.FilterMode Then .AutoFilter.ShowAllData
    rng.Delete
  End With
End Sub
