Hi Team,

I want to delete entire Row if a cell contain Single value, or it contain multiple values in a Column.
for that I have created Function , it work for Single Criteria. which is Very fast.

1) how to make it further dynamic for multiple Criteria.
2) if My Actual StartRow of data starts from Row 4, how to make it dynamic. Thanks for your help in advance.

Below is my attempted code, works for Single Criteria

VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Sub DeleteRow_asper_Criteria()

    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
    Dim a As Variant
    Dim MultipleCriteria As Variant
       
     a = Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value
    
    '======Delete Single Criteria Row====
    DeleteRow ws, a, "Chris Gayle"  'Delete Single Criteria
    
    '----------Delete Multiple Criteria--------------
    MultipleCriteria = Array("MS Dhoni", "Ricky Ponting", "Brendon McCullum")
   
    
   '1)How to make  code dynamic for multiple Criteria
  ' 2) If Data startRow is 4 Row , how to make this also dynamic.
    
    
  MsgBox "Macro Successful"


End Sub


Function DeleteRow(ByVal ws As Worksheet, ByVal a As Variant, Criteria1 As String, Optional MultipleCriteria As String)
 ' Dim a As Variant, b As Variant
  Dim nc As Long, i As Long, k As Long
  Dim b As Variant
    
  nc = Cells.Find(What:="*", LookIn:=xlFormulas, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column + 1
  ReDim b(1 To UBound(a), 1 To 1)
  For i = 1 To UBound(a)
    If a(i, 1) = Criteria1 Then    'How to make this line dynamic for multiple Criteria
      b(i, 1) = 1
      k = k + 1
    End If
  Next i
  If k > 0 Then
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    With Range("A2").Resize(UBound(a), nc)  'How to make this line dynamic if startRow changes.
      .Columns(nc).Value = b
      .Sort Key1:=.Columns(nc), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
      .Resize(k).EntireRow.Delete
    End With
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
  End If
  
End Function

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
Isn't this just a new variation of the same question that you asked here?

Hi Jason,

Yes its similar to that, I was searching which method is faster for deleting rows.
I found this solution on this forum given by peter_Sss, its superb speed. It deleted 1000000 rows within 3 seconds.

this method is faster than loop, autofilter, replace approach, Therefore I want to use this method by Converting into function.




Thanks

    Dim a As Variant
    Dim str As String
    Dim ary() As String
       
    a = ws.Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value
   '  a = ws.Range("d5", Range("D" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value
    
    
    str = "Virender Sehwag"

  MsgBox "Macro Successful"

End Sub


Function DeleteRow(ByVal ws As Worksheet, ByVal a As Variant, ByVal ary As Variant, Optional ByVal HeaderRow As Long = 1)
  Dim nc As Long, i As Long, k As Long
  Dim b As Variant, j As Long
  Dim DataRow As Long
  DataRow = HeaderRow + 1
      
  nc = Cells.Find(What:="*", LookIn:=xlFormulas, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column + 1
  ReDim b(1 To UBound(a), 1 To 1)
  For i = 1 To UBound(a)
    For j = 0 To UBound(ary)
    If a(i, 1) = ary(j) Then
      b(i, 1) = 1
      k = k + 1
    End If
    Next j
  Next i

  If k > 0 Then
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    With ws.Range("A" & DataRow).Resize(UBound(a), nc) 'How to make this line dynamic if startRow changes.
      .Columns(nc).Value = b
      .Sort Key1:=.Columns(nc), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
      .Resize(k).EntireRow.Delete
    End With
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
  End If
  
End Function
