    Solved: Compare Column Data

    =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A2,$C$1:$C$597,0)),"",A2)

    This is the function im using to compare 2 columns.
    What it does is that
    It compares column A to C
    and in Column B it shows the field that exists within column C

    How can I do the opposite?
    I want to list all the unmatched data between the column

    Try this in column B
    [vba]=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A2,$C$1:$C$597,0)),A2,"")
    [/vba]
    Peace of mind is found in some of the strangest places.

    it checks if the word is there. and not the exact word

    for example

    in column A - text

    in column C - text34

    Itll show that 'text' does exist..which it doesn
