    Duplicate names avoided

    Hi

    I have a list of names in col A and in col B. I need formula so that if a name from col A is there in col B, that name should not appear in col C.

    Thanks

    You could use COUNTIF to check if the name in say A1 is there

    In C1 & copied down, note adjust range reference for checking

    =IF(COUNTIF($B$1:$B$20,A1)>=1,"",A1)
    Hope that helps.
