    how compare two columns

    Gooday I'm try to find which names I,m missing from two columns . I write the formula like this =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A2,$C$1:$C$179,0)),"",A2)
    This matches the names but how can I write it so that the column shows names that are extra , eg do not match?
    thanks

    Hi,

    How about just reversing the formula?

    =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A2,$C$1:$C$179,0)),A2,"")
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1
