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

    I am new to use Excel.I am using MS OFFICE PROFESSIONAL PLUS 2010.
    Operating system Windows 7. I have 50 Lacs Local Cell Numbers and i want
    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)

    Column C for refine result without competitors

    I want to delete Column B values from column A so what can i do for it.

    Try this on a copy of your data:

    1) Insert a blank row at the top
    2) In C1 put "Key"
    3) In C2 put this formula:

    =ISNUMBER(MATCH(B2, A:A, 0))

    4) Copy that formula down the entire data set (the length of column A data)
    5) Click on column C and turn on the Data > Filter (Table) function
    6) Use the drop down in C1 to filter for TRUE
    7) Delete all visible rows of data
    8) Turn off the Filter, delete column C (and B, it's not needed anymore)
