    Macro to compare two list

    Hi!

    I have two worksheets. On the Master list I have a list of cars with their Registration numbers and vehicle details, the other has just registrations only. I wish to compare the two lists, and remove from the Master list
    any vehicle that is on the registration list only.

    I've been able to use the Macro from the Microsoft website, but this only removes the duplicate registration numbers, not the entire row relating to this registration number. Has anyone any idea how I modify this macro to delete the row, not just the cell?

    Sub DelDups_TwoLists()
    Dim iListCount As Integer
    Dim iCtr As Integer

    ' Turn off screen updating to speed up macro.
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True


    ' Get count of records to search through (list that will be deleted).
    iListCount = Sheets("Master").Range("A1:A2500").Rows.Count

    ' Loop through the "master" list.
    For Each x In Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1:A2500")
    ' Loop through all records in the second list.
    For iCtr = 1 To iListCount
    ' Do comparison of next record.
    ' To specify a different column, change 1 to the column number.
    If x.Value = Sheets("Master").Cells(iCtr, 1).Value Then
    ' If match is true then delete row.
    Sheets("Master").Cells(iCtr, 1).Delete xlShiftUp
    ' Increment counter to account for deleted row.
    iCtr = iCtr + 1
    End If
    Next iCtr
    Next
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    MsgBox "Done!"
    End Sub

    Thanks in advance
    Darren

    Thanks!

    Thanks for that, much appreciated. Taking it one step further, how could I get it to remove this row, paste it onto another worksheet and then resume the file comparison process?

    Thanks again

    Darren
