How to delete rows in an Excel ListObject based on criteria using VBA?

Question

I have a table in Excel called tblFruits with 10 columns and I want to delete any rows where the Fruit column contains Apple. How can I do this?

Answer 1

The following sub works:

Private Sub deleteTableRowsBasedOnCriteria(tbl As ListObject, columnName As String, criteria As String)

    Dim x As Long, lastrow As Long, lr As ListRow
    lastrow = tbl.ListRows.Count
    For x = lastrow To 1 Step -1
        Set lr = tbl.ListRows(x)
        If Intersect(lr.Range, tbl.ListColumns(columnName).Range).Value = criteria Then
            'lr.Range.Select
            lr.Delete
        End If
    Next x

End Sub

The sub can be executed like this:

Dim tbl As ListObject
Set tbl = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("tblFruits")
Call deleteTableRowsBasedOnCriteria(tbl, "Fruit", "Apple")
