Can anyone help me with this????

I have a spreadsheet that I need to delete rows if a portion of whats in one column is not found in the cells in a column on a referenced spreadsheet.

Basically I have a 4-digit number that is embedded within text in one of the columns and I want to be able to delete that row if that 4 digit number does not match any of the 4 digit numbers on a different spreadsheet.

Any suggestions?

Thanks..
