I have a spreadsheet w/rows of names. I received a list of names that i have to remove from the master. Is there a formula or function to find & delete all the names that need to be removed (so that i don't have to find and delete them 1 by 1)?

Select a range of cells. The total appears in bottom right of Excel screen. Right-click total to add Max, Min, Count, Average.
Hi,

One of the ways to do this, you can use formula "=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(A2,List!A:A,0)>0,"Yes"),"No")" on cell "B2", sheet "Master" & copy the formula down. Let say your list of names is in sheet "List", Do filter in column "B", sheet "Master" & select "Yes", & delete. Please see the Image attached.

unfortunately that didn't work :( ... all the results said no. i included pictures of the formula & spreadsheet w/dummy names listed. you can see that the Program Chair list & Registered both have Hammond but the formula said not to remove it

Hi,
1. In the formula you have =IFERROR(IF(MATCH(E264,Registered!E=E,0)>0,"Yes"),"No") it should be =IFERROR(IF(MATCH(E264,Registered!E:E,0)>0,"Yes"),"No")
2. Pay attention that the names don't have space at the beginning or ending, to be matched in both places they should be exactly the same, the formula =D106&" "&C106 is OK, it should work
