Delete Row From Excel Worksheet

Posted on by KaiHalpin

Good Morning,

I was having trouble when running my code regarding the Delete Row from Excel Sheet Function. I have certain keywords in my data, and if the row contains this key word I need to delete it. I have used the Find and replace cells in Excel Worksheet Function to find all of my keywords and change them to the word delete. I then find all cells with the text delete and store them on a separate table. However, I am unsure on how to actually use the Delete Row from Excel Worksheet function to delete all of my desired Rows. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the response, but it didn't apply to my situation. I have a table like this (see attached image) where I have the rows that I need to delete stored in a table. All of the values in the column that is labelled Row Index are the numbers of the rows that I need to delete on my Excel Sheet. I need a way to delete all of these values that are on the spreadsheet itself.

Edit: Resolved

You could just use a for each loop and loop through this datatable and grab the 2nd column (index will be 1) and use the action "Delete row from Excel worksheet" to achieve your requirements.

I hope this helps.
