    Looking to Eliminate Duplicates between 2 columns.

    Hi All,

    Screen Shot 2016-07-09 at 7.30.38 PM.png

    I hope you can see the image ok. This is a list of Keywords for my Adwords account. Some of the Keywords in Column A also appear in Column B. I'm trying to remove the keywords in Column A that appear in column B. Hope that makes sense. Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

    No, I can't.

    But since we are on an excelforum it is more usefull to add a small exelfile, without confidential information.

    Also add manualy the expected result in your file.

    Most forummembers don't want to reproduce your image, just to help you.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.

    Re: Looking to Eliminate Duplicates between 2 columns.

    is the exact phrase identical in column A

    "buy houses fast"

    is that exactly the same in column A
    or are you trying to get an approximate match
    like
    "but some houses as fast as you can"

    will not match

    you can use conditional formatting

    or out a formula in column C and then sort to get all duplicates together

    in c2 put
    =countif( A:A, B2 ) >0
    yow will get a true or false

    as requested an excel example would be much better

    Please upload a small clean sample of your data / workbook (not a picture) to the forum, Make sure you have removed any private information, remember this is a public forum and so available to anyone
    We would like to see an example of your data and also a manual mock up of the expected results you want to achieve.

    To attach a file to your post,
    click "Go advanced" (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage Attachments",
    click that and select "Choose File" (top Left corner).
    Find your file, click "Open" click "upload" click 'close windows" Top Right. click "Submit Reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
