    Question Search for Specific Text in a column & Delete Rows

    Hello,

    I am looking for a macro to search specific column (Lets Say Column B), search for a word "Demo" within data at every cell in that column and delete all those rows consist of it

    Is it possible?

    Thanks

    This would do as you've described. It is not CASE specific so it will find DEMO, demo, DEmo, and any other variation. It also only deletes once at the end, so should be quicker than a row by row deletion.
