Hi,
I have a spreadsheet with a list of account numbers (column A). I have another sheet with a bigger list of account numbers that includes the original list (still column A).
Is there any quick way to compare the 2 and come up with just the additional entries on the bigger list either on a seperate sheet or shading them on the bigger lsit?
many thanks
Jon
hi,
you can use a helper column, say column Z, in Sheet2 (bigger list) and use below formula.
[vba]=COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$15000,A2)[/vba]
in Z2 and copied down.
then filter "0"s in helper column to see values in Column A which do not exist in Sheet1 (smaller list).

Replace company specific / sensitive / confidential data. Include so many rows and sheets etc in the uploaded workbook to enable the helpers visualize the data and table structure. Helpers do not need the entire workbook.
