I have 2 lists of phone numbers. I need to remove all numbers from the small list thats on

Hi,
I have to lists. One large list of phone numbers. One smaller list of numbers. I need to delete all numbers from the smaller list that is on the large list. And then only have the modified scrubbed list. The large list also has commas that need to be removed first i assume. I know this is easy for someone that knows excel but i can't figure out how to do it and i have tried for many frustrating hours before succumbing to defeat. Can you walk me through this please? I have 5 lists to do this to so i need to know how.

Thanks, Bob

• Click "Done" at bottom right to close the Attachment Manager.
• Click "Submit Reply"

I have no idea how that relates to my question... thanks for the effort tho!

As to the other problem - sounds like you're trying to identify and delete from the smaller list, any numbers that are 'duplicated' in the bigger list? Both lists are in separate 'workbooks'? (so, separate excel files)

I think that protonLeah is inviting you to upload your workbooks (sheets) to this site so that they can see what your problem is. If you do chose to do that - be careful that your workbooks don't contain private or personal details.

I'm a total noob here, so I can only really help with one part of your query - the commas:

Open the sheet, hit CTRL + F to open the 'find/replace' box, select 'replace' then in the 'find what' box, insert a comma and in the 'replace with' box leave it blank/empty. Hit 'replace all' and you should then replace all commas with 'nothing' - ie: delete all commas.

Oh i think youre right. Im a new agent and have phone numbers lists that i have to scrub from the federal DNC list. I cant post that on here. I will keep watching youtube etc... i dont have a choice i have to figure it out. Thanks for your help!

Not your actual data, we dont need that, just small fake data that explain your problem, to make sure the solutions not goes wrong.

Thanks
