I tried using the code in your tutorial with a data table I am working with and did not work. This is my first attempt at using a macro to automate anything in excel so I am sure I am doing something wrong. I tried running in step and it highlights the Sub line. The table I am working with has order entries each listing the operations associated with these orders. Several operations in some orders do not have a scheduled start date, which is essential for the project I am doing so I need to delete the rows missing the start date and any operations associated with the order that had a "defective" operation. From your video I got the impression that your script would do this task but I can't make it work. Any advice?
