    How to delete entire row if text string from first column match text string from text file

    Hello
    I have a text file called del.log
    del.log sample:
    STRING1
    STRING2
    STRING3

    Also I have excel sheet with almost 1 000 000 rows in it. I'm looking for a EFFECTIVE way how to delete entire row if text string in column A exactly matches one of text strings from del.log file?

    Thank you for any suggestions.

    This should work in 2010.
    It does not work in 2007 because of the 8192 limit for SpecialCells.

    Thank you for your help. It works however I need somehow read those strings from external file del.log and delete rows based on strings saved in del.log file.
