    hello ,

    If I have 2 lists:

    The first one contains the following

    America Co INC
    Chicago Line Co
    New York Corporation
    First house Inc

    and the scond ones contains:
    America Corporation INC
    Chicago Line Corporation
    New York Corporation
    1st house Inc

    How do I extract the unique values or in other word the same business since spelling is little different? I would appreciate your help. thank you

    Check for value NOT in list

    Try using the MATCH() function

    If the value is in the range MATCH() returns a number
    If the value is not in the range MATCH() returns #N/A.
    Thus you can use the ISNUMBER() function to check the result returned by MATCH() as follows:
