delete row based on criteria - help!

Hi,

I thought I had worked this out from google but it seems to not do everything I want.

Formula below works for one string, "review" but i also need it to work for "audit" "project" and "done" too.... so essentially someone can go into the sheet - hit a button and remove all these lines in one go.

Sub Delete_Based_on_Criteria()

' This macro will delete an entire row based on the presence of a
'predefined word or set of words.  If that word or set of words is
'found in a cell, in a specified column, the entire row will be 'deleted
Dim x As Long
Dim Z As Long
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim FoundRowToDelete As Boolean
Dim OriginalCalculationMode As Long
Dim RowsToDelete As Range
Dim SearchItems() As String

Dim DataStartRow As Long
Dim SearchColumn As String
Dim SheetName As String

 

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

' Choose the row you want the search and delete to start on
' Choose the column to search and delete to use for deletion
' Choose the sheet in the workbook you want this macro to be run on

DataStartRow = 2
SearchColumn = "E"
SheetName = "Sheet1"

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

 

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

' Enter the terms you want to be used for criteria for deletion
' All terms entered below are CASE SENSITIVE and need to be
'seperated by a comma

SearchItems = Split("Review", "")


''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

 

On Error GoTo Whoops
OriginalCalculationMode = Application.Calculation
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

With Worksheets(SheetName)
lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, SearchColumn).End(xlUp).Row
For x = lastRow To DataStartRow Step -1
FoundRowToDelete = False
For Z = 0 To UBound(SearchItems)
If InStr(.Cells(x, SearchColumn).Value, SearchItems(Z)) Then
FoundRowToDelete = True
Exit For
End If

Next

If FoundRowToDelete Then
If RowsToDelete Is Nothing Then
Set RowsToDelete = .Cells(x, SearchColumn)
Else
Set RowsToDelete = Union(RowsToDelete, .Cells(x, SearchColumn))
End If

If RowsToDelete.Areas.Count > 100 Then
RowsToDelete.EntireRow.Delete
Set RowsToDelete = Nothing
End If
End If

Next

End With
If Not RowsToDelete Is Nothing Then
RowsToDelete.EntireRow.Delete
End If

Whoops:
Application.Calculation = OriginalCalculationMode
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

 

End Sub

sorry about that fixed it now!

is there a way to put spaces in? it's throwing up an error and I think it's because the full category is TS Audit, TS Done.


EDIT:

it's coming up with Run-time error '13': Type mismatch
