    Combining two lists (A:B) on different sheets into one list without duplicates

    Hi all,

    I have a worksheet with two lists on separate tabs... I need to get this list onto a third tab without duplicates... I also need it to be a formula or macro (not cut and paste) because it works off live data from my CRM system. I fundamentally understand how to do this but i can't seem to get it to work because the lists are formatted like this: Column A = Company, Column B = Contact...

    I have attached an example of what i am talking about if this helps.

    The easiest way would to copy second list underneath the first and use Remove duplicates feature in excel located under Data tab.

    Or use formula

    =INDEX(A$2:A$17,MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF(D$1:D1,A$2:A$17),,),))

    Adjust ranages as needed.

    Thank you for your response!

    The only issue with your answer is that the two lists are dynamic, so I can't copy and paste or manipulate anything on tab 1 or 2 because it will just cancel any amendments to the sheets when i hit refresh... if that makes sense?

    The use the same formula like this

    =IFERROR(INDEX('Clients A'!B$2:B$11,MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF(B$1:B1,'Clients A'!B$2:B$11),,),)),IFERROR(INDEX('Clients B'!B$2:B$7,MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF(B$1:B1,'Clients B'!B$2:B$7),,),)),""))

    Updated sheet
