    compare 2 columns of 2 worksheets and show the different items

    how would i take 2 columns, 2 different sheets, compare them and show the items that are not in the other.

    I just have a sheet to update that i need to compare to a master sheet. the master sheet has the added cell values that i need, so i just need to extract the new ones.

    in the first sheet add a column with formula:

    =Isnumber(match(A1,Sheet2!A:A,0)) and copy down

    where A1 is first item in current sheet to look for in Sheet2 column A

    Do the same for the other sheet replacing sheetname

    TRUE means match found, FALSE means no matches.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
