    VBA to delete rows based on user input

    Apologies, I was not aware of the tags. I am not sure if I did it correctly but I did as I understood from your instructions.
    Thank you so much.

    Hi!

    I have this code to delete an employee based on the employee id a user inputs. I placed a note on the message box because I cannot figure out how I can delete several employee id inputs all at once.

    Can anybody help me add a command to delete multiple rows based on user input of employee id's (separated by semicolon)? It would also be cool to have a confirmation message like:

    The following employee id's were deleted from the list:
    123
    456
    789

    The following employee id's were not found:
    654
    321

    Administrative Note:

    Welcome to the forum.

    We would very much like to help you with your query, however you need to include code tags around your code.

    Please take a moment to add the tags. Posting code between tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

    Please see Forum Rule #2 about code tags and adjust accordingly. Click on Edit to open your post, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

    Re: VBA to delete rows based on user input

    Sure. Can I request one more? After entering the employee ids then clicking OK, can another message box appear with a question 'Are you sure you want to permanently delete these employees from the roster? then an OK and CANCEL button?

    Re: VBA to delete rows based on user input

    It is working fine, thank you but I have a code interfering with the delete process which is the application.enable events=true

    Re: VBA to delete rows based on user input

    I'm not able to replicate your file to solve this issue … Is the above worksheet event code placed in the same sheet where the DeleteEmployees macro is working ? What is the name of that sheet. Also, is Sheet3 a third sheet ? Please provide a small sample file to see the issue with the exact sheet names as per your file just with dummy data

    Re: VBA to delete rows based on user input

    Yes it is in the same sheet but the code is in the Object not in Module where the delete employee macro is. So in the event that an employee is deleted, the other code to watch for worksheet changes also kicks in and that's when the problem starts and the macro does not seem to stop running. I am not sure if its because of the Application.EnableEvents = True statement.

    Try to put the red line in your worksheet event code & see if that solves the problem

    Re: VBA to delete rows based on user input

    From the code above, could you help me edit this statement Range("j1").Copy Cells(Target.Row, 4) so that it does not copy the formatting, only the value?

    Re: VBA to delete rows based on user input

    You don't need the copy, you can assign the value directly like below

    Cells(Target.Row, 4) = Range("j1").value
