I have a workbook which contains 7 worksheets of various row length. I have a macro that already performs various tasks which works fine but now I would like to add to it by searching every worksheet and deleting any row that contains a 0 or the text NULL in column A.
After a search, I found the following but it only works on the active worksheet.

VBA Code:
Sub test()

   Dim i As Long
    Dim sht As Worksheet
    
    For Each sht In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
        For i = sht.UsedRange.Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
            If Cells(i, 1).Value = "NULL" OR Cells(i, 1).Value = 0 Then Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Delete
        Next i
    Next sht
End Sub

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Try this. Small change to your code.
VBA Code:
Sub test()

   Dim i As Long, x As Integer
    Dim sht As Worksheet
    
    For x = 1 To ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
    Set sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(x)
        For i = sht.UsedRange.Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
            If Cells(i, 1).Value = "NULL" Or Cells(i, 1).Value = 0 Then Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Delete
        Next i
    Next x
End Sub

    Next x
End Sub
Thank you for the reply. It did not work - not even on the active sheet.

I replaced the code I have above in the same module. I did not embed it in the greater macro as I wanted to see it run on its own first with my workbook.

Ah. I wrote it to work in the Workbook with the data in it. This small change should work. Replace "YourWorkbook" with Workbook Name.
VBA Code:
Sub test()

   Dim i As Long, x As Integer
    Dim sht As Worksheet
    
    For x = 1 To Workbooks("YourWorkbook").Worksheets.Count
    Set sht = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(x)
        For i = sht.UsedRange.Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
            If Cells(i, 1).Value = "NULL" Or Cells(i, 1).Value = 0 Then Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Delete
        Next i
    Next x
End Sub

Thank you again for your time. I am getting an error. I did try to replace ThisWorkbook with ActiveWorkbook and also the name of the workbook in " " with no luck once I received the error.

Jeez. I'm sorry. Made the change to one line but not the other. Try replacing the highlighted line with the following.
VBA Code:
Set sht = Workbooks("YourWorkbookName").Worksheets(x)
