Removing responders from a mailing list?

[IreneSimmonds]

I am very new to using Excel and macro, please be gentle.


I have a spreadsheet of people sent a mail out, with each person identified by a unique number. The column headers are unique number, name, address, postcode.

I have a second sheet of people who responded, containing only their unique identification number.

I want to remove the people in the second sheet from the first sheet, so that I can send a reminder letter.

How would I do this? I'm not asking anyone to write my code, just suggest what tools I could use to do this, so I can learn for myself. I don't want to delete the rows manually and I'm sure it must be possible to automate this, I just don't know how.


Thank you!

Manually is easy with a vlookup formula, filter delete.

To use macro, my script would be

'Find last row of ID in sheet1


'Find last row of ID in sheet2

'Then someting like this
For each cell2 in Sheet2.range("A1:A" & LastRow2)
          For each cell1 in Sheet1.range("A1:A" & LastRow1)
             if cell1.value=cell2.value then
                delete cell1.entirerow
            End if
          Next cell1
Next cell2
