    Filter Two lists (multiple columns)

    I have two lists over multiple columns

    List A = Columns A, B, C (Name, Age, Class)
    List B = Columns F, G, H (Name, Age, Class)

    and I need to filter them so I have 3 outputs

    Unique to List A
    Unique to List B
    Match in List A and B

    I have attached a workbook with a made up example. It has the original lists, and how the lists should appear once filtered. you can work with this book if its easier.

    Could someone show me or explain to me how to filter these lists?

    All help is appreciated and many many thanks!!

    See attached.

    Added helper columns next to the lists to determine which to include/exclude

    Note: Your sample did show Brian as having same age in both lists.. I changed one to age 15 to show results you expected.
