Hello
In sheet1 i have many columns with numbers like this

Code:
ColA ColB ColC
123   321  123
111   123  555
444   333  222

In sheet2 i have one column with numbers like this
Code:
ColA 
123
222
444
222

I want to search sheet1 for all numbers in sheet2 and remove them from sheet1,
Is that possible, without doing one column at a time?
 

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Please try it with sample data.

Code:
Sub test()
Dim c
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
Set ws1 = Sheets("Sheet1")
Set ws2 = Sheets("Sheet2")
With ws1
    For Each c In .Range("A2").CurrentRegion
        If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(ws2.Range("A:A"), c) > 0 Then
            c.ClearContents
        End If
    Next
End With
End Sub

If you numbers are values, rather than the result of formulae, try
Code:
Sub removevalues()

   Dim Ary As Variant
   Dim i As Long
   
   Ary = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A2", Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
   For i = LBound(Ary) To UBound(Ary)
      Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A:C").Replace Ary(i), "", xlWhole, , False, , False, False
   Next i
End Sub
