Once you have the records, you simply delete these. The above steps first filter the data based on a cell value (or can be other condition such as after/before a date or greater/less than a number). This will remove the filter and you will see all the records except the deleted ones. Click the Data tab and click on the Filter icon.

At this point, you will see no records in the dataset. In the dialog box that opens, click on OK.Right-click on any of the selected cells and click on ‘Delete Row’.This will filter the dataset and only show you records for Mid-West region. Deselect all the other options except the Mid-West option (a quick way to do this is by clicking on the Select All option and then clicking on the Mid-West option).Click on the Filter icon in the Region header cell (this is a small downward-pointing triangle icon at the top-right of the cell).This will apply filters to all the headers cells in the dataset In the ‘Sort & Filter’ group, click on the Filter icon.Select any cell in the data set from which you want to delete the rows.In that case, you can filter all the records where the region is Mid-West and then delete all these rows (while keeping the other rows intact).īelow are the steps to delete rows based on the value (all Mid-West records): While in this small dataset you can choose to do delete these rows manually, often your datasets are going to be huge where deleting rows manually won’t be an option. Suppose you have a data set as shown below and you want to delete all the rows where the region is Mid-west (in Column B). Let’s see two examples where you can filter the rows and delete them.

Once you have the filtered data, you can delete all these rows (while the remaining rows remain intact).Įxcel filter is quite versatile and you can filter based on many criteria (such as text, numbers, dates, and colors) One of the fastest ways to delete rows that contain a specific value or fulfill a given condition is to filter these.
