    Cool Duplicate Deletion

    Hi there,

    I am looking for a way to delete not only the duplicate but the original itself.

    I have two lists of names, I am looking for the people who are on one list but not on the other.

    I tried to do a filter and I tried to remove duplicate but clearly that did nothing.

    I am clearly tired and have tried multiple different ways to google this problem and nothing seems to come up other than the info to remove duplicates.

    Help...plz thx kbai

    Re: Duplicate Deletion

    Depends if there is other data associated with the two lists.

    Assuming it is two simple lists, I would copy the first list to a new sheet in column A. Then copy the second list to the new sheet, in column A, under the first list. Then add a helper column, in column B. In the helper column, in cell B2, use the formula =COUNTIF(A:A, A2) and copy it to the end of the combined list. Now filter the helper column for >1. Select the visible rows and delete them using the icon on the Home ribbon. Clear the filter. Done.
