Question : Excel Keep/Delete Records in Sheet1 that are in Sheet2

Please offer how I may create a new Sheet3 for the following:

1. Keep records in Sheet1 that are also in Sheet2 (Sheet2 is a subset of Sheet1 - and I want to truncate Sheet1 to only the records in Sheet2) - the result in Sheet3 will be an intersection of Sheet1 and Sheet2

2 Delete records in Sheet1 that are in Sheet2(again, Sheet2 is a subset of Sheet1 - I want to remove all records in Sheet1 that are found in Sheet2) - Sheet3 will be an outer join of Sheet1 and Sheet2, with records only found in Sheet1.

In both cases, a new Sheet3 will be created, based upon the Keeping/Deletion from Sheet1 when compared to Sheet2 - please assume the column is labeled A.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Answer : Excel Keep/Delete Records in Sheet1 that are in Sheet2

Okay i assumed its the header name that is Primary name and its row-1 of your both the sheets, Plus this will automatically create sheet-3 in your workbook and this for unique list...

for common list...just change this line...

If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(rng, c.Value) = 0 Then

to this...

If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(rng, c.Value) > 0 Then
