    Arrow if in column a does not exist copy b to c

    Hi,

    Need help again and now I am sure this is the place to be:

    2 columns A and B

    I need column C created with only the unique values from B that don't exist in A.

    hope it makes sense

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B1,A:A,1,0),B1)

    try pasting this into C1 then copy down.

    other wise please paste a sample spreadsheet, removing any sensitive data first

    you'll need to copy the formula down all the cells, its works but not how you want it to i dont think

    mama really knows... but I an not even clever enough to copy/implement your formula...

    =IFERROR(INDEX(B$2:B$6,MATCH(,IF(ISNA(MATCH(B$2:B$6,A$2:A$5,)),COUNTIF(C$1:C1,B$2:B$6)),)),"")

    move your mouse to lower right of c2 until it turns to skinny cross, hold your left click and drag it down as far as needed
