Deleting certain rows using VBA
Hi.
I was looking for some assistance please, I have spent the best part of today trying to find a way to do this but really struggling
Whilst browsing online I found a few examples but when I tried using these none of them have worked for me
I have a workbook with several worksheets, on each worksheet I need to delete all rows that meet the following criteria
1, All cells in columns B that are blank, and
2, All cells in column B that contain text "Blue" or "Black"
As far as deleting all rows that are blank I have this working using the following coding
Code:
If wst.Name Like "Open" = False Then
On Error Resume Next
wst.Columns("B").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next wst
But i am not sure why the following does not work? it does remove all the blank rows but doesnt delete the rows where column b contains blue or black
Code:
If wst.Name Like "Open" = False Then
On Error Resume Next
wst.Columns("B").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.Delete
End If
With ActiveSheet
.AutoFilterMode = False
With Range("b1", Range("b" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
.AutoFilter 1, "*Blue*" or "*Black*"
On Error Resume Next
.Offset(1).SpecialCells(12).EntireRow.Delete
End With
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With
Next wst
Any help is appreciated, thanks

Re: Deleting certain rows using VBA
you would need to autofilter twice, once for blue and once for black
i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next
dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part
come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

Re: Deleting certain rows using VBA
For multiple filter criteria, something like:
Code:
Sub afilter()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Set rng = ws.Range("a1:a9") 'change to your range
With rng
.AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:="=black", Operator:=xlOr, Criteria2:="=blue"
End With
End Sub
My example is not using wildcards, of course. Would need to change to accommodate.
