I'm looking for a macro that will delete the entire is none of the text is contained in a list.

Example:

Sheet1

ABCD
1Alpha One111422
2Beta Two1912185
3Charlie Three419211
4Delta Four172615
2. 8. 16. 22


Sheet 2

ABCD
1Beta
2Three

I'm looking to delete Rows 2 and 3 from Sheet 1 based off of the criteria in Sheet2 Range A1:A2

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Hi, try this..
VBA Code:
Sub test()
    Dim v, values, lR&, i&
    With Sheets("Sheet2")
        values = .Range("A1:A" & .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(3).Row).Value
    End With
    With Sheets("Sheet1")
        lR = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(3).Row
        For Each v In values
            For i = 1 To lR
                If .Cells(i, 1).Value <> "" And InStr(.Cells(i, 1).Value, v) Then
                    .Cells(i, 1).ClearContents
                End If
            Next i
        Next v
        With .Range("A1:A" & lR)
            If WorksheetFunction.CountBlank(.Cells) > 0 Then
                .SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.Delete
            End If
        End With
    End With
End Sub
