How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney

It would be easier to help if we had some data to work with. Can you post a screen shot of what your data looks like? Section B at this link has instructions on how to post a screen shot: https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/board-announcements/127080-guidelines-forum-use.html 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. Include a detailed explanation of what you would like to do referring to specific cells and worksheets. If the workbook contains confidential information, you could replace it with generic data.

You can use the macro recorder to get the basic code and then adjust it to match your needs.

The final code might look something like this:
Code: 
Sub Find_Loop()

Dim i As Integer
Dim FirstCell As Range
Dim FoundCell As Range
Dim Rng As Range
Dim MyString As String
Dim Message As String


Set Rng = Range("A1:A10")


MyString = Range("B5").Value
Message = MyString & " not found!"


Set FoundCell = Rng.Cells(1, 1)
    
    Set FoundCell = Rng.Find(What:=MyString, _
                            After:=FoundCell, _
                            LookIn:=xlValues, _
                            LookAt:=xlWhole, _
                            SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
                            SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
                            MatchCase:=False, _
                            SearchFormat:=False)
    
    
    If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then
    
        'Found something
    
        Do
            i = i + 1
            
            If i = 1 Then
                Set FirstCell = FoundCell
            End If
        
            If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then
            
                Set FoundCell = Rng.FindNext(After:=FoundCell)
        
            End If
        
            If Not Intersect(FoundCell, FirstCell) Is Nothing Then
                'Loop is starting again
                Message = "Found " & i & " matches!"
                Exit Do
            End If


        
        Loop
    End If

According to your explanation and looking at your data, no rows in Sheet2 would be deleted because every combination of ID plus Name in Sheet2 exists in Sheet1. If this is not correct, please clarify again exactly what should happen using a few examples from your data and referring to specific cells, rows, columns and sheets. Which rows in Sheet2 would you expect to be deleted?

Hi

720772893 exists 5 times in sheet 1, however name matches only two times. what i need if any of the ID does not match name (from sheet1) which has in sheet2 then it should delete all the rows which has 720772893.
