Hi all,
the following code select the column "share sale".
If anybody write "share sale" in another way (Share Sale, Share sale....) the code ignor the line.
The other problem is, that the code needs a long time to run. Is there any chance to accelerate the code?
Kind regards

One way to avoid this is to have a drop-down list for them to choose from with data validation to stop them entering anything not on the list.If anybody write "share sale" in another way (Share Sale, Share sale....) the code ignor the line.

Thank you. I did this. But not everyone use the drop down list and write in in the cell.
A data validation list by default will not allow anything not on the list - check your settings.
+1 for data validation settings. Prevention is better than cure.
Hi I have checked. Settings Data Validation =$AC$4381:$AC$4387 here are the 7 allowed words:
share sale
enrolment
change
stop
restart
cancellation
leaver
If you type another word than you get an error message. But if you write uper or lower case it works.
That's true ...
EDIT: Noticed you only wanted to delete the share sale rows
Aside from the obvious data validation prevention solution there is also a cure solution
The reason your macro is slow is the number of copy paste and delete operations - 1 per i. The below code reduces this to 1 total operation.

but this is the Problem. The code should select all lines and ignor if it is upper or lower cases.
