Just so that I understand, you want to delete any value in
column B that is found in Column A. Is that correct?

Sub Sample()
Set ColAValues = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A" &
ActiveSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row)
ColBLastRow = ActiveSheet.Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row

For i = ColBLastRow To 1 Step -1
CurrentValue = ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 2).Value
For Each Cell In ColAValues
If Cell.Value = CurrentValue Then
ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 2).Delete shift:=xlUp
End If
Next Cell
Next i
End Sub

Hi Tod,

I just tried the macro and I get this error message.

Compile Error
Syntax Error

Also this portion of your code is highlighted in red

Set ColAValues=ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A" &
ActiveSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row)

These are the steps I took to create your macro

I went to Tools, Macro, Visual Basic Editor, Insert, Module and paste
the code into the large white window and then pressed the play button
