Creating a Macro that makes a list of missing items

This macro will compile your list of missing stock items/shops in the last column. This should work for a table of any size, it presumes the last two columns are the STOCK list and ShopsToListMissingItems.

If you want to go the VBA route, Jerry's code is always spot on!

However, you can also do this with in-cell formulae, but they're long...

I've attached your sample with the requisite formulae in column F. This is very inelegant, but it does what you asked for.

Personally, I'd set up a second table with shops in columns, and items in rows, then mark for each shop what needs ordering. That way, you'll avoid both having to run a macro to update, and also you'd avoid the ridiculously long formulae! I've included such a solution, too.

Just a thought!
