    compare cols to find missing IDs

    Thanks for bearing with this newb while I get upto speed with Excel....

    I have 2 worksheets of company records each contaning a unique id.column.
    One sheet is called LOAD the other is ALL.
    The ID is in col D of each.
    There are some records in ALL that are not in LOAD.
    These are the ones I wish to find. A flag by each will be nice!
    There are approx 1700 rec in one and 1500 in the other sheet.
    How do I compare them to find where a record in ALL is not in LOAD sheet?

    Thanks in advance this is a great resource and I hope to get my training wheels off before long!

    Assume the flag to go in E

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    modify ranges etc as required - apply an Auto Filter to ALL and filter by Col E as TRUE for those that are missing

    Ah..Donkey...where to put the code?
    I tried pasting into a cell as it is but the ALL!E2: is on another line so is this vb script or something not a simple xl formula?
    Yes I really am a newb!
