Find values from a list in a specified range and remove row

[mattd4385]

I have a list a data on say sheet1 col_A,
And a list of data in sheet2 col_A.

The List in sheet1 contains all the data i would like to remove from sheet2 (i would like to remove the row not just the cell).

Other notes:
The sheets can not be sorted in any way.
Sheet1 the removel list dosn't contain repeats
sheet2 may contain repeats


-----Ex.-------
sheet1 col_A: (nothing will change on this sheet it is only a list)
1
4
3
2

sheet2 col_A: (BEFOR)
3
1
12
2
16
4
36

sheet2 col_A: (After)
12
16
36

You can make a new column on sheet 2 and put in the following formula:

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,lookupList,0)),"","Remove")

Name the list on sheet1, "lookupList" and it will flag up those you want to remove. To delete all of them put an autofilter along the top so you only display the "Remove" rows.

How do I lable the col "lookupList"?

With just a header?
