    Checking for and then deleting duplicate data

    Hello all,

    I have 2 Spreadsheets..

    List #1 has about 1500 email addresses and member numbers.
    List #2 has about 30,000 email addresses and member numbers.

    Many of the emails from List 1 are duplicated in List 2, but not all of them. What I need is a simple way to automatically search through List 2 for any emails which are in List 1 and then delete the entire row.

    Any ideas how I could go about accomplishing this?

    Thanks in advance.

    I made a macro to do this for ya. Just copy and paste all your emails into the attached excel file under "Email:" for both "List #1" and "List #2". Run the macro entitled "bob" and the emails found in list #2 that match with an email in list #1 will be deleted.

    Good luck!

    For the record, another way you could do this is as follows

    Create 1 long list of all the email addresses from both sheets.
    Create a header row titled EMAIL ADDRESS

    Then use the Advanced Filter Option to filter Unique Records to a new location
