    Do Not Call List Spreadsheet

    Dear Experts:

    I need a spreadsheet that compares a list of numbers with another list, and finds matching numbers sends them to different locations.

    Suppose you have the following data:

    Column "A" is: "This is a Do Not Call List Phone Numbers - not to be called"
    2132000005
    2132000008
    2132000009
    2132000019
    2132000020
    2132000021
    2132000023
    2132000024
    2132000028
    2132000030

    Column "B" is: The list that you want to filter out. This list is raw.

    2132000028
    2132000030
    2132000031
    2132000035
    2132000041
    2132000045
    2132000051
    2132000053
    2132000058
    2132000059
    2132000064
    2132000065
    2132000066
    2132000067
    2132000079
    2132000080
    2132000097
    2132000100
    2132000103
    2132000104
    2132000110
    2132000113
    2132000116
    2132000119
    2132000122

    Now we need to match column "A" with COlumn "B" and copy duplicates to Coulumn "C" or: (These two numbers appear in both "A" and "B")

    2132000028
    2132000030
    (notes these numbers are also found in list "A")

    And the remaining unique numbers that are not part of list "A" to Coulumn "D" or:

    2132000031
    2132000035
    2132000041
    2132000045
    2132000051
    2132000053
    2132000058
    2132000059
    2132000064
    2132000065
    2132000066
    2132000067
    2132000079
    2132000080
    2132000097
    2132000100
    2132000103
    2132000104
    2132000110
    2132000113
    2132000116
    2132000119
    2132000122
    (Note: these items are not found in list "A")

    I've very limited programming experience in Excel, and I appreciate if someone can actually write the above if & match statements and post or email a reply, with an actual database.

    Please do not post a reply for the sake of showing your signature part.

    Thanks in advance

    giday,

    Chip Pearson has some great suggestions for identifying unique & duplicate entries, I've gone through the below links to build you an example spreadsheet.

    I've modified a formula which he uses on the below page to put all the appropriate values at the top of each column in column E & F. NOte that these 2 columns contain array formula which need to be entered & edited using [ctrl + shift + enter] instead of just the normal [enter].
