Data Verification between worksheets

[Kcope8302]

I have a large dataset that I am importing from an outside source. This data
contains all project codes from a specified date. To be able to limit the
data I want to reference I want to compare that data against a list of
project codes specifically for my team and have those transferred to a
seperate worksheet where I will run different analysis on that data.

The raw data would be put in 'Work Area' worksheet. I have a 'Reference
Data' worksheet with the project codes I am working on. I would need column A
in Work Area to be compared to column A in Reference Data. If there is a
match I want that whole line copied to a worksheet call PTR.

Example

Work Area
Prjt Code Site Owner Date
4858589 NY K. Copeland 5-12-08
4398348 PA A. Patel 6-08-08
3984845 PA K. Copeland 8-07-08
3039848 DC P. Baker 11-17-08
3043948 FL L. Johnson 3-12-09
3048485 GA T. Raines 5-14-09

Reference Data
Prjt Code
4858589
3984845
3043948

PTR
Prjt Code Site Owner Date
4858589 NY K. Copeland 5-12-08
3984845 PA K. Copeland 8-07-08
3043948 FL L. Johnson 3-12-09

In PTR,
Paste the list of Prjt Codes in A2 down (from Reference Data)
Then in B2: =INDEX('Work Area'!B:B,MATCH($A2,'Work Area'!$A:$A,0))
Copy B2 across to D2, fill down. Format col D as dates. Apply autofilter on
col B, filter out direct for any #N/A cases, delete these rows. Remove
autofilter. Done
