Hi there,<br />
<br />
I have a large excel file (it will have tens of thousands of entries in) and I would like to filter and delete out rows that are not needed (because the file is so large copying it makes the computer hang!).<br />
<br />
I would like help in identifying the best way to use VBA to remove rows based on a criteria - but I am not sure the criteria is the easy to do.<br />
<br />
I would like to remove any row where Email 1 equals Email 2 BUT the date in (Week Ending) must also be in the last 15 days. <br />
<br />
On top of this I would like to remove any row where the value in column B is Xe. I would also like to remove any row where the value in column Q is Service 44!<br />
<br />
Any help is greatly appreciated - my example workbook is attached.<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />

Large Excel Document - remove entries (multiple)

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.

Microsoft Excel

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
