I have 2 worksheets (Sheet1 and sheet2). I am trying to write a macro that will look for the cell value of Sheet1 A2 in sheet2 column C. If that value doesn't exist in sheet2 column c then delete row 2 on sheet1.
This needs to happen for all rows on sheet1. The amount of rows on sheet1 and sheet2 varies.

Thank you!

Next
Sheet1.AutoFilterMode = False
Sheet1.Range("A1:b1048576").AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=""
Sheet1.Range("A2:B" & lrow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Delete
Sheet1.AutoFilterMode = False

Another option
Code:
Sub DelRows()

   Dim Cl As Range
   Dim Rng As Range
   
   With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
      For Each Cl In Sheets("Sheet2").Range("C2", Sheets("Sheet2").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
         If Not .exists(Cl.Value) Then .Add Cl.Value, Cl.Offset(, 1).Value
      Next Cl
      For Each Cl In Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2", Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
         If Not .exists(Cl.Value) Then
            If Rng Is Nothing Then
               Set Rng = Cl
            Else
               Set Rng = Union(Rng, Cl)
            End If
         End If
      Next Cl
   End With
   Rng.EntireRow.Delete
End Sub

Hi Fluff,

This solution works. I am getting an error whenever there is no rows to delete. I.E. every value exists on sheet 2. Is there a way around this?

Yup, just change the last line to
Code:
   If Not Rng Is Nothing Then Rng.EntireRow.Delete
