Compare two lists and generate a new list of items missing from one list

[bh24524]

Hello, so I learned how to do this in Google Sheets the other day. It was as the title says a comparison between two lists that I wanted a formula to list all the items from the first list that were NOT contained on the second list. I know you can do this a different way utilizing conditional formatting, but I really liked how the Google Sheets did it and wondered if maybe Excel 2013 had some kind of formula equivalent that could do it.

Ideally this is what I'm after just with peoples names as an example:

List 1aka Master List - Contained on the Building Static tab hence its name in the formula)
John Smith 1
John Smith 2
John Smith 3
John Smith 4
John Smith 5

List 2: (Name list contained on the current tab where the formula is)
John Smith 2
John Smith 5

List 3: (The list that is auto-generated by the formula)
John Smith 1
John Smith 3
John Smith 4

Those names in list 3 again are those names that did NOT appear in list 2.

The formula that I used in Google sheets just for reference was:

=arrayformula(filter('Building Static'!D3:F522,iserror(match('Building Static'!D3:D522,B21:B91,0))))

In google sheets this worked perfectly and I had never used this formula before but I got to think surely I could use this type of formula in some of the excel sheets I use at work.

I had tried using this formula, the arrayformula function but Excel said it was not a valid function so I figured maybe 2013 didn't have that function. I thought I read somewhere that a later version of Excel DOES have it but can't remember for certain.

Just wondered if there is any type of Excel 2013 formula that can actually do this. If someone might advise? Please and thank you.

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
You're lists do not have any values in common.
You will need to start a new thread explaining exactly what you are trying to do.
