Hello,
I have made an Excel to illustrate what I need to do.
I have 2 lists. List A and List B with non-numeric values.
I want to make a third list called List C, where I gather all the values in List B that did not occur in List A.
I have tried to find formulas that could work here but with no result.
Thanks
/P

Hi,
please try this in H2 and own:
=IFERROR(INDEX($G$1:$G$10, AGGREGATE(15,6,(IF(IFERROR(MATCH($G$2:$G$10,$D$2:$D$13,0),TRUE)=TRUE,ROW($G$2:$G$10))),ROWS($A$1:A1))),"")
Is this what you want?
Excel 2016 (Windows) 32 bit
Name Jacob Lennart Kennet
Sheet: Sheet1
If so, it's as simple as loading the two current lists as connection only queries and giving them matching column names, then merging the two using a Right-Anti join type. Here's the M Code:
To update, you just need to refresh all or set the queries to auto-update.

Some cells seem to be incorrectly referred.
Thank you for spending time on your answer. Is it VBA you used for this code? What you did is exactly what I want, I would love to understand how to apply it to another excel file.

It's PowerQuery (Get & Transform on the Data ribbon), which is built into Office 365.
Power Query is a free AddIn for Excel 2010 and 2013, and is built-in functionality from Excel 2016 onwards (where it is referred to as "Get & Transform Data").
It is a powerful yet simple way of getting, changing and using data from a broad variety of sources, creating steps which may be easily repeated and refreshed. I strongly recommend learning how to use Power Query - it's among the most powerful functionalities of Excel.

- Follow this link for an introduction to Power Query functionality.
- Follow this link for a video which demonstrates how to use Power Query code provided.
Which cells are missing?
please see attached. There are only 3 names in list B that do not appear on list A
