    Exclamation Compare two spread sheets to make one

    Hello again, I will explain first that I am doing so hopefully you can better understand how to get the out come.
    I am running reports for a big trucking company. I deal with many numbers indicating truck/trailers. I only need the actual truck numbers. I have a list of only truck numbers what I use to find on this report I run daily. I then have to delete all the trailer numbers off the report.
    I need somthing using office 07 to compare my truck number sheet with my report and delete any number that is not on that truck list.
    All numbers on both report and truck list are in column B. These are in seperate workbooks.
    This will save me a long of time manually verifying all these truck numbers and deleting all the trailer numbers.
    Please let me know if you need anymore information.
    Thank you for you any assistance ahead of time.

    Sorry for the delay ion response. I had some free time this morning and found a simple formula that works wonders. I will share my findings incase anyone has this same problem.
    Insert a column to the right of the first column on the "old" sheet. In Cell A2 type this formula =IF(ISNA(MATCH(OLD!B2,NEW!B:B,FALSE)),"Yes","No") . This will compare work sheet old and new and columns B on each and place a Yes or No. Yes meaning the values match and No meaning they do not.
    Then I just hid all rows with No and did a special copy and paste for visible rows.

    Thanks!
