    Is this what you are looking for?
    I made two different solutions. Same results but presented in different ways.

    Jacc- Almost what i am ooking for. The challenge now is if the case numbers are same in both the excels( Old and new) it should confirm whether the version number is also same, then only it is a duplicate else it should be copied. for eg:-if the first case number "539480" is repeating in the old data base it should check whether the version number is also same in the old data base. If the version number is not "1" in old data base that case number an version number needs to be copied. Hope Im clear

    Jacc- Please check the new attachments. I have populated the values which should be present in the non duplicate data base. and reduced the number of cases to three to keep it simple.

    A very small change in my formula would do that I think.
    Try the following:

    Just tweaked the formula u shared just now a bit- IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(B9,$F$7:$G$20,2,0)<>C9,B9,"-"),IFERROR(IF(B9<>F9:F22,B9,"-"),"-")). I hope this is correct

    I'm not sure to be honest. When it goes in to the IFERROR statement then it's already clear that the value is not found in the old list. This formula should be enough:
