Remove Entire Row if Column Contains $0.00 Value [duplicate] - excel

Question

I have an excel workbook, in worksheet1 in Column A, IF the value of that column = ERR I want it to be deleted (the entire row), how is that possible?
PS: keep in mind that I have never used VBA or Macros before, so detailed description is much appreciated.

Answer 1

Using an autofilter either manually or with VBA (as below) is a very efficient way to remove rows
The code below
Works on the entire usedrange, ie will handle blanks
Can be readily adpated to other sheets by changing strSheets = Array(1, 4). ie this code currently runs on the first and fourth sheets
Option Explicit
Sub KillErr()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim lRow As Long
Dim lngCol As Long
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim strSheets()
Dim strws As Variant
strSheets = Array(1, 4)
For Each strws In strSheets
Set ws = Sheets(strws)
lRow = ws.Cells.Find("*", , xlValues, , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row
lngCol = ws.Cells.Find("*", , xlValues, , xlByColumns, xlPrevious).Column
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ws.Rows(1).Insert
Set rng1 = ws.Range(ws.Cells(1, lngCol), ws.Cells(lRow + 1, lngCol))
With rng1.Offset(0, 1)
.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC1=""ERR"""
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="TRUE"
.EntireRow.Delete
On Error Resume Next
.EntireColumn.Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End With
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

sub delete_err_rows()
Dim Wbk as Excel.workbook 'create excel workbook object
Dim Wsh as worksheet ' create excel worksheet object
Dim Last_row as long
Dim i as long
Set Wbk = Thisworkbook ' im using thisworkbook, assuming current workbook
' if you want any other workbook just give the name
' in invited comma as "workbook_name"
Set Wsh ="sheetname" ' give the sheet name here
Wbk.Wsh.activate
' it means Thisworkbook.sheets("sheetname").activate
' here the sheetname of thisworkbook is activated
' or if you want looping between sheets use thisworkbook.sheets(i).activate
' put it in loop , to loop through the worksheets
' use thisworkbook.worksheets.count to find number of sheets in workbook
Last_row = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.count, 1).End(xlUp).Row 'to find the lastrow of the activated sheet
For i = lastrow To 1 step -1
if activesheet.cells(i,"A").value = "yourDesiredvalue"
activesheet.cells(i,"A").select ' select the row
selection.entirerow.delete ' now delete the entire row
end if
Next i
end sub
Note any operations that you do using activesheet , will be affected on the currently activated sheet
As your saying your a begginner, why dont you record a macro and check out, Thats the greatest way to automate your process by seeing the background code
Just find the macros tab on the sheet and click record new macro , then select any one of the row and do what you wanted to do , say deleting the entire row, just delete the entire row and now go back to macros tab and click stop recording .
Now click alt+F11 , this would take you to the VBA editor there you find some worksheets and modules in the vba project explorer field , if you dont find it search it using the view tab of the VBA editor, Now click on module1 and see the recorded macro , you will find something like these
selection.entirerow.delete
I hope i helped you a bit , and if you need any more help please let me know, Thanks

Fastest method:
Sub DeleteUsingAutoFilter()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveSheet
.AutoFilterMode = False
.Columns("A").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="ERR"
.AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1, 0).EntireRow.Delete
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Second fastest method (lots of variations to this one too):
Sub DeleteWithFind()
Dim rFound As Range, rDelete As Range
Dim sAddress As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Columns("A")
Set rFound = .Find(What:="ERR", After:=.Resize(1, 1), SearchOrder:=xlByRows)
If Not rFound Is Nothing Then
Set rDelete = rFound
Do
Set rDelete = Union(rDelete, rFound)
Set rFound = .FindNext(rFound)
Loop While rFound.Row > rDelete.Row
End If
If Not rDelete Is Nothing Then rDelete.EntireRow.Delete
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Autofilter method for multiple sheets:
Sub DeleteUsingAutoFilter()
Dim vSheets As Variant
Dim wsLoop As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'// Define worksheet names here
vSheets = Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")
For Each wsLoop In Sheets(vSheets)
With wsLoop
.AutoFilterMode = False
.Columns("A").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="ERR"
.AutoFilter.Range.Offset(1, 0).EntireRow.Delete
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With
Next wsLoop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Assuming there are always values in the cells in column A and that the data is in the first sheet, then something like this should do what you want:
Sub deleteErrRows()
Dim rowIdx As Integer
rowIdx = 1
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
While ws.Cells(rowIdx, 1).Value <> ""
If ws.Cells(rowIdx, 1).Value = "ERR" Then
ws.Cells(rowIdx, 1).EntireRow.Delete
Else
rowIdx = rowIdx + 1
End If
Wend
End Sub
