Find Duplicates Across Two Sheets, Delete Everything else.
I've tried and failed at this, any help would be appreciated...
I have a workbook with two sheets. Sheet1 is a list of equipment specific to my department, it has 176 rows and 11 columns. Sheet 2 is a maintenance record for all equipment within the company, it has 2406 rows and 8 columns. Column D of both sheets contains the piece of equipments unique ID number. What I would like to do is compare column D of sheet2 with column D of sheet1 and delete everything on sheet2 which does not have a match on sheet1, leaving me with only the maintenance records for the items in my department. Can this be done? Sincere thanks in advance for any assistance. Tagg |

Apply the below formula in Sheet2 last unused column. I assume data start
from Row2. So if the last unused column is J put this formula in J2. which will check Sheet1 records to find a match for the unique number and return either a blank or "Delete". Once done sort this column and delete the records with 'Delete' =IF(COUNTIF(sHEET1!D:D,D2),"","Delete") If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "waggett" wrote: I've tried and failed at this, any help would be appreciated...
