Hello,

I have a full list of 5 digit numbers in Column B and an incomplete list of 5 digit numbers in Column A. How can I have a unique list in Column C?

These will be the missing 5 digit numbers.

Can this be done with formulas?


Thank you very much for your help.
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
are you able to use PowerQuery (Get&Transform)?

if so...

Code:
[SIZE=1]// Table1
let
    Source = Table.ToColumns(Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content]),
    ToTable = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
    Expand = Table.ExpandListColumn(ToTable, "Column1"),
    RemDup = Table.Distinct(Expand),
    Filter = Table.SelectRows(RemDup, each ([Column1] <> null))
in
    Filter[/SIZE]

Yes I just need the unique numbers. There are many matches between columns A and B I just need the ones that don't have a match.

Thank you

Hi,
This is my first post so hopefully I've done this right...

To only show values from Col A that don't appear in Col B, type the following into Cell C1...

=IF(COUNTIF(B:B,A1)=0,A1,"")

...and copy down to the end of column C.

I hope this helps.
