You can do it several ways depending on what you mean by "Process rows".

Process = remove rows to a separate sheet....

Use the Data > Filter on that dataset, filter that column for "YES" and all the other rows will be hidden. Now you can cut all the visible rows all at the same time and paste them on another sheet.


Process = do something to each row

A macro will need to be constructed to loop through each used cell in column 17 and "do your process" on that row, whatever that is.
