Answer 1

Use vba

The following would stop when it gets to an empty line...

x = 1
While Cells(x, 1) <> ""
    If Left(Cells(x, 1), 3) <> "bbb" Then
        Cells(x, 1) = ""
        Cells(x, 2) = ""
    End If
    x = x + 1
Wend

Answer 2

If you're not looking for an automated solution (eg this is a one-and-done scenario, no programming or recording required), you could simply sort the data based on Column A 's values, then the deletion process is trivial. In short:

1. Highlight all rows/columns in question
2. Right click -> Sort -> Sort A to Z
3. Select all rows above and below rows that contain bbb . This can be done by holding CTRL while making a selection.
4. Press delete

Here's some screen shots of these steps and the result

Sort the data

Select rows above and below bbb

Press the Delete key (Result)
