    to delete my competitors cell numbers from this big list which is 302 cell numbers.

    I divide this big list into 5 Sheets because each excel sheet allow 1048576 rows.
    The big list is paste in column A and the competitor list is paste on column B.

    Column "A" have all cell numbers
    Range = (A2:A1048576)

    Column B have all competitors cell numbers
    Range = (B2:B302)

    In Column C of sheet 1, in cell C1, put in this formula:

    =IF(COUNTIF(B:B,A1)>0,"",A1)

    All competitor numbers will show up in column C as a blank, as per the "" part of the formula.

    The conventional definition of management is getting work done through people, but real management is developing people through work.

    Re: Delete Cell Numbers of Column B From Column A (Column B Small and Column A too big)

    I am using this formula like this for exact matching with rows.
    =IF(COUNTIF($B$2:$B$302,A2)>0,"",A2)
    Thank you very much "Down Under" for creating above formula.
