    Question Unique items in column C when comparing B to A

    Hi,

    Im sure this should be easy but cant find how to do it so hope someone can help. How can I get the result below?

    In column A I have a list of numbers e.g. 1,2,3,4,5,6

    In column B I have a list of other numbers e.g. 1,2,4,7,8

    In column C the result I am looking for is to only show numbers from column B which are not in column A i.e. result should show 7,8


    Column A and B will only have each number once.

    Thanks,

    Tim
