    Removing data of one excel column from another excel column

    Hi All

    I'm sure this has been asked before but can't seem to be finding an answer that works for me. Here's the predicament:

    I have a list of email addresses in Column A numbering some 50 000, that I need to remove from a larger list in Column B, numbering 220 000.

    How do I do this?

    And i'm relatively hopeless at Excel so the guide for dummies might be required here!

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks

    Mark
