    In which column does the word reside?

    I checked your file and found the word Inventories in column K. However, if you delete every row that contains that word in column K, you wont be left with any data.

    Try this code
    Option Explicit
    
    Sub delete_rows()
    Dim lrow As Long, i As Long
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    With Worksheets("Sheet")
        lrow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        For i = lrow To 4 Step -1
            If .Range("J" & i).Value = "Inventories" Then .Rows(i).Delete
        Next i
    End With
    
    MsgBox "Deletion complete"
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
    End Sub
    Copy the Excel VBA code
    Select the workbook in which you want to store the Excel VBA code
    Hold the Alt key, and press the F11 key, to open the Visual Basic Editor
    Choose Insert | Module
    Where the cursor is flashing, choose Edit | Paste

    To run the Excel VBA code:
    Choose View | Macros
    Select a macro in the list, and click the Run button

    Re: Need a macro to delete rows with specific word

    Hi Arlu thats a really useful Macro it works great, but is there any way to speed it up? Im using it to read about 1500 rows.

    Im new to VBA but essentially can =lrow (see below) be set to a row number to speed things up?

    For i = lrow To 4 Step -1
