VBA - select the row if it contains certain words

[macroos]

Hi All.

I am trying to select the rows that contains the text "#N/A" on column N.
How do I do that?
My data are on columns B through columns N.

Sub CutNA()

    Dim FirstNA As Long, LastNA As Long
    FirstNA = Columns("N").Find("#N/A", , xlValues, , xlRows, xlPrevious, , , False).Row + 1
    LastNA = Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
    
    Rows("B"&FirstNA&":B"&LastNA).Select
    Selection.Cut
    ...

End Sub

Your logic looks fine, kinda, not sure why you add 1 to the row that the NA is found, I guess you want to start cutting after the NA.

Also you want to use Range function, not Rows...

Range("B" & FirstNA & ":B" & LastNA).Select

Also LastNA is actually the row number of the last cell in the column that is not empty... just FYI

FirstNA is the row number after the row where the NA is found. If that is your intention then ok but the way you name your variables doesnt accurately describe to a reader what your code is doing.

    Rows("B"&FirstNA&":B"&LastNA).Select
    Selection.Cut
    ...

End Sub

First, I would note that you do not have to select the rows in order to cut them... you can cut them directly.

If those #N/A errors were generated by formulas in the cells, then use this macro...

Sub CutNA()
  Columns("E").SpecialCells([B][COLOR="#0000FF"]xlFormulas[/COLOR][/B], xlErrors).EntireRow.Cut
  ....
End Sub

But if those #N/A values are constants (either the #N/A were typed into the cells or the formulas were replaced by their values), then use this macro instead (I highlighted the difference between the macros in blue)...

Sub CutNA()
  Columns("E").SpecialCells([B][COLOR="#0000FF"]xlConstants[/COLOR][/B], xlErrors).EntireRow.Cut
  ....
End Sub

Thank you both!

Thank you both!

I am not sure my macro will do what you want... I answered what you appeared to ask in the text description, but I now note your code is doing something completely different from what you described in the text, so I am not sure what your actual needs are.

Your macro is doing exactly what I was trying to do, Rick. Thanks!
