So.. I have a large worksheet of information for which I need to
delete certain rows based on a list in another worksheet. I need a
delete row function that will look up the value in another worksheet
and delete the row based on that value. Can anyone help?

Probably. If you would furnish the names or numbers of the sheets, the range
where the list is stored and which sheet it is in; and whether the data to be
compared in the other sheet is in a specific column or row and which it is;
or if it is radomly located within the sheet.

Let's say Sheet2 has the data and Sheet1 in column A has the list of rows we
want deleted from Sheet2. For example, in Sheet1 in A1 thru A4 we have:

1
5
7
11

The following macro will remove these rows from Sheet2:

Sub rowkiller()
Dim rkill() As Integer

Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
n = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
ReDim rkill(1 To n)
For i = 1 To n
rkill(i) = Cells(i, 1).Value
Next

Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
Set rgkill = Cells(rkill(1), 1)
For i = 2 To n
Set rgkill = Union(rgkill, Cells(rkill(i), 1))
Next
rgkill.EntireRow.Delete
End Sub

Hi Vic

See
http://www.rondebruin.nl/delete.htm

See the tip below the first example

If Not IsError(Application.Match(.Value, _
Array("jelle", "ron", "dave"), 0)) Then .EntireRow.Delete

'Or use this one with Application.Match if you want to check more values.
'in the cell. You can also use a range with the values to delete.
'Replace Array("jelle", "ron", "dave") with Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A200")
