    Formula to compare column 1 to column 2 and list items not in column 2.

    I have enclosed a sample worksheet where column A contains a list of names. Column C also contains a list of names. I am attempting to create a list of names missing from column C. I am also trying not to use VBA and also making sure there are no duplicate names.

    Thank You in advance.

    Re: Formula to compare column 1 to column 2 and list items not in column 2.

    Try this array formula** entered in E2:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(A$2:A$161,MATCH(0,IF(ISNA(MATCH(A$2:A$161,C$2:C$82,0)),COUNTIF(E$1:E1,A$2:A$161)),0)),"")

    ** array formulas need to be entered using the key
    combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
    Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
    then hit ENTER.

    Copy down until you get blanks.
