You may use the Find&Replace dialog, enter the "variable"'s name, click
FindAll, which marks all found cells, then goto menu Edit.DeleteCells,
check "Delete entire row(s)" and OK. Just be sure to not click into the
sheet during these steps as that would remove the found cells' marks.

Formulas can't delete rows, a macro could, if that was a frequently
repeated task.
