    difference between two word lists

    I have a complete list of terms in one column, and a partial list in another. I'd like to compare the two and determine which terms are *not* in the partial list.

    Thanks for helping!

    Re: difference between two word lists

    Could use something like:
    Code:
    =COUNTIF($B$1:$B$100,$A1)
    where column b was the list you were comparing to column a, and this was in row 1 in say, column c. Drag down.

    0's would be ones that weren't in both lists.
    Could throw in a
    =if(countif(b1:b100,a1)=0,"Not listed","listed")
    if you wanted it to give you a text readout.

    mew!
    =IF(AND(OR(BLONDE,BRUNETTE,REDHEAD),OR(MY PLACE,HER PLACE),ME),BOW-CHICKA-BOW-WOW,ANOTHER NIGHT ON THE INTERNET)
