Deleting rows if cell contains text

HI Guys

Hope you can help

I have a simple to do list sheet detailing live and completed tasks. Each task has a progress bar on the right and in this, is a conditional format set so when the 'x' key is used, the cell turns green signifying progress.

Ive tried the below code so that if the button is pressed, it scans the sheet in column N and if it finds an 'x' in the cells in Column N, it will hide the row as the task is, in effect, complete.

The code ive assembled is as follows :-

Sub HideRows()
Dim cell As Range
Dim DataCount As Integer
With Worksheets("ToDoList")
DataCount = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For Each cell In Range("N1:N" & DataCount)
If cell.Contains("x") Then
Range(cell.Row).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next cell
End With
End Sub

However, Im getting an error and not sure what I am doing wrong?

I have attached the sheet - any suggestions and help would be appreciated

Hey RG

Thanks so much for your help

Just a quick question .... is there a way in which it can be modified to 'unhide' the rows if I re-click the button?

If not, no worries.
