    Create 1 list from 2 tables and removing duplicates

    Hello Community,

    I've have an issue and I'm assuming I'd need to use the INDEX / SORT / MATCH functions, but I'm a bit perplexed on where to start with this one - This one is beyond my tiny little brain

    I have two tables.
    Both tables have the same format, and Table1 will 'always' include the data that's in Table2.
    Table1 will also have more data than Table2.

    So I need to compare the data int the two tables and the data thats in Table1 & not in table 2 be listed in a separate list.

    See an example of the data and how ideally it would get displayed.

    Any Help greatly appreciated

    Lists.xlsx

    Thanks
    Tony

    Re: Create 1 list from 2 tables and removing duplicates

    Merge the two tables using PowerQuery on the name field - a left-anti join should leave you with just the records unique to the first table.

    Your other thread needs marking as solved, please. Thanks!

    Thanks for the feedback, I've not used PowerQuery before I'll see if I can figure it out.

    How do you mark a thread as resolved? I can't see anywhere on the screen that enables me to mark it as resolved?

    How about
    =FILTER(Table1[#All],ISNA(MATCH(Table1[[#All],[Name]],Table2[Name],0)))

    This will not work if you try to put it into a table.

    Thanks - this might work - I'll try playing around with it in my mastersheet
