I have a 3 column table 135 rows filled with various and duplicate values. (A1:C135)

I then have another table (1 column) 30 lines (E1:E30)

As values are added to the E1:E30 table I am looking for a formula that will delete ALL the corresponding values from the A1:C135) table.

So if "ABC" is added to cell E1 then all the "ABC" in the table A1:C135 are deleted.

PS. The values in the A1:C135 table are hard coded there. They are not from another source.

Thank you,
James
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Ok so after checking more online I am finding there is no formula that will delete data from a table based on criteria in another table.

But could something with ISNUMBER and MATCH change the data that matches to (" ") I am seeing things like this online but not sure how to apply it to my above description

Any thoughts would be appreciated

As values are added to the E1:E30 table
If you want to delete the values as they are added, I believe that you would need a macro to do this. If you are open to using a macro, it would be easier to help if you could use the XL2BB add-in (icon in the menu) to attach a screenshot (not a picture) of your two tables. Alternately, you could upload a copy of your file to a free site such as www.box.com or www.dropbox.com. Once you do that, mark it for 'Sharing' and you will be given a link to the file that you can post here. Explain in detail what you want to do referring to specific cells, rows, columns and sheets using a few examples from your data (de-sensitized if necessary).
