Deleting Rows and moving all rows together












0















I am needing to work out best way and quickest way to be able to achieve Deleting rows with an Y in column A and then moving all remaining rows up so no blank lines are left, as illustrated below.



Col A    Col B    Col C
Y TOM 12
O JOHN 11
Y FRED 12
TOM 12
O JOHN 12
TOM 12
Y JOHN 12
Y TOM 12
Y JOHN 12
FRED 10
JOHN 12


Above is what the spread sheet looks like at first. I wish to be able to press a button or two and have it look like this:



Col A    Col B    Col C
O JOHN 11
TOM 12
O JOHN 12
TOM 12
FRED 10
JOHN 12


This is how I need it to look at end.



Hoping someone can help me out.



Kindest Regards
Natasha Willson

    Have you thought of using filters? Or do you really need to delete those rows?

  • Define a vba macro, then with Alt-F8, view the Macros dialogue and double click the deletion macro. Done. I will provide an answer with this macro altered for deletion as it was originally written to hide and unhide rows.

  • #Natasha, you have asked similar question just few days back,, check this link superuser.com/questions/1406892/delete-only-certain-rows/… and there I've responded it with MACRO as solution. Therefore this one should be considered as DUPLICATE. So my suggestion is Delete this one to avoid Vote to Close .

        Copy the following into a regular vba Module (Use Alt-F11 to open the Visual Basic editor). After adding the code to an existing or new regular module, edit the Const properties as needed. The sheet name is the name appearing on the worksheet tab. To run the code, use Alt-F8, to open the Macro dialogue and double click (run) Delete_Rows.



        WARNING Cannot undo deletions made by this macro and therefore the undo buffer is cleared. In other words; this action will not appear in Edit - Undo and Ctrl-z will have no effect.
