I have Workbook A populated with skus from a report and I want to remove all rows in this workbook that do not have a matching sku in Workbook B. Each workbook contains only one sheet and the skus are in column 1 of both workbooks.
Also, I am looking for a good resource/tutorial for working with workbooks, worksheets and ranges within. I don't anticipate this being the last time I will be confronted with this and would like to learn more.

In Workbook A put this formula in B1 and the double-click the lower right corner to copy to down the whole dataset:
=ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1,'[WorkBook B.xls]Sheet1'!$A:$A,0))
You now have a set of TRUE/FALSE answers. Sort both columns by column B and then delete all the FALSE rows which are now grouped together. Then delete the B column until next time.

Is there a way to accomplish this with a macro? I appears I left that little bit out.
Run this macro from inside Workbook A. Be sure to edit the highlighted section to the actual correct workbook b name.

Thank you. It was much simpler than I was making it.
