I have a spreadsheet with the following codes in column A:
AA
BC
DE
DJ
GG
HH

I want to merge data from a csv file with the following codes at the start of each line:
BB
BC
DF
EA
FA
GG
HH
LL
These codes will always be in alphabetical order in both files.
When merging, if the code in the spreadsheet does not match a code in the csv file, that row should be deleted from the spreadsheet.
If the code in the csv file does not match a code in the spreadsheet, that line from the csv file should be inserted into the spreadsheet in the correct position.
In this example, the spreadsheet after merging should contain rows:
AA
BB
BC
DF
EA
FA
GG
HH
LL

Can anyone help with some slick code to do this please?
Thanks

I don't understand why AA should remain...
Do you want to replace the current data with the csv data? or am I missing something?

OK,

If so, like I mentioned, is it to replace current data with the csv data?

Code:
Sub test()
    Dim fn$, s$
    fn = Application.GetOpenFilename("CSVFile,*.csv")
    If fn = "False" Then Exit Sub
    x = Split(CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpentextFile(fn).ReadAll, vbNewLine)
    With Sheets(1).[a1]
        .EntireColumn.ClearContents
        .Resize(UBound(x) + 1) = Application.Transpose(x)
    End With
End Sub
