Vba to 1) Add and 2) Delete rows based on Criteria entered in input box that displays on screen

[Geeta2014]

Hi All,

i can find my way around vba [I am more of an Excel formula user]. Every now and then I need to use one of these. Right now, I am going through the forum and i most likely will find code pieces of what I need, and then i will combine.

However, perhaps one of you good souls already have a vba code that can accomplish what I need. I have laid it out logically as i can below. After the vba runs [whether I add or I delete], I'd like to automatically transfer the updated data to a Word file [tell me if its possible or impossible].

[TABLE="width: 824"]
<colgroup><col><col><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]=(ROW()-1&"=")[/TD]
[TD]Argentina[/TD]
[TD]=(ROW()-1&"=")Argentina[/TD]
[TD] [/TD]
[TD]Need a vba code that will:
1. Search for a specific string (e.g. Barbados) that I type into an input box, Delete the row with Barbados
I also want the code to loop through and make sure the the text in Column B is in alphabetical order. (If there is a way to add numbering plus the equal sign within the code so I no longer need Column A, i am open to that also). [/TD]

[TD]2=[/TD]
[TD]Aruba[/TD]

[TD] [/TD]
[TD] [/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3=[/TD]
[TD]Barbados[/TD]
[TD]3=Barbados[/TD]
[TD] [/TD]
[TD]2. Need code that will loop through Column B, confirm that what I type in an input box is not present in Column B, and once confirmed, code will Add in alphabetical order a new country (e.g. Venezuela). (If there is a way to add numbering plus the equal sign within the code so I no longer need Column A, i am open to that also). [/TD]

Hi,

This code will not do anything with Word yet. That said, does it fulfill your other requirements. To sort, I needed to use a temporary helper column. I used Column A, since with this code you no longer need your original Column A. If you would prefer to use a different helper column, please change where I notated and highlighted in RED.

The code also assumes that all your countries are in Column B, starting with Cell B2. If countries are duplicated they will have consecutive numbers and not unique numbers.

Sub CountryWork()
    
    Dim col, srtd, beg
    Dim lRow As Long, i As Long, n As Long, pos As Long
    Dim c As Range, B As Range, delCty As Range
    Dim sRch As String, nWc As String
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    sRch = InputBox("What country would you like to delete?", "DELETE COUNTRY")
    lRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
    beg = Range("B2:B" & lRow)
    For n = LBound(beg) To UBound(beg)
        If IsNumeric(Left(beg(n, 1), 1)) Then
            pos = InStr(beg(n, 1), "=")
            beg(n, 1) = Mid(beg(n, 1), pos + 1)
        End If
    Next
    Range("B2").Resize(UBound(beg)) = beg
    
Again:


    On Error GoTo NXT
    Set c = Range("B2:B" & lRow)
    Set delCty = c.Find(WHAT:=sRch, SearchOrder:=xlRows, _
      SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, LookIn:=xlFormulas)
    delCty.EntireRow.Delete
    GoTo Again
      
NXT:


    nWc = InputBox("Would you like to add a new country, if not click Cancel")
    If Not nWc = "" Then
        lRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row + 1
        
        Set delCty = c.Find(WHAT:=nWc, SearchOrder:=xlRows, _
            SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, LookIn:=xlFormulas)
        If Not delCty Is Nothing Then
            MsgBox "Country already exists!", vbCritical
            GoTo FinishUP
        End If
        Range("B" & lRow) = nWc
        col = Range("B2:B" & lRow)
    End If
    
FinishUP:


    lRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
    col = Range("B2:B" & lRow)
    With Range("[COLOR=#ff0000]A[/COLOR]1") ' [COLOR=#ff0000]Change this cell from Column A to a different Column[/COLOR]
        .Resize(UBound(col)) = col
        .CurrentRegion.Sort Range("[COLOR=#ff0000]A[/COLOR]1"), , , , , , , 0  '[COLOR=#ff0000]here also[/COLOR]
        srtd = .CurrentRegion
        .CurrentRegion.Clear
    End With
    
    For i = LBound(srtd) To UBound(srtd) - 1
        srtd(i, 1) = i & "=" & srtd(i, 1)
    Next
    Range("B2").Resize(UBound(srtd)) = srtd
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
  
End Sub

I hope this helps...

thank you. it works. Is possible to give it to me in 2 pieces? See, I plan to add the codes into an 'Add' and 'Delete' Userform button [learning curve for some non-excel users].
btw, i have a drinking item [its not a problem for me! the more I drink, the better I feel]

Is this what you are looking for. Alcohol just works!!
