    Finding out missing numbers

    Hi all,

    I am using Excel 2002.
    In a sheet, I have three columns of numeric data as follows:

    Column A (registered numbers)
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5

    Column B (random input numbers)
    5
    4
    3
    3
    3

    Column C (absent numbers)
    1
    2



    Description:
    Numbers under Column A are registered.
    Numbers under Column B are to be checked against those under Column A.
    It is clearly that Numbers 1 and 2 are missing, and so they are manually written under Column C.

    Question:
    In this example, there are only a few numbers used, so we can quickly see that which numbers are missing.
    But when the numbers become larger, say a few hundreds, then that will be difficult for human to find out which numbers are missing.
    So, I am wondering how to use VB or other Excel functions else to do the
    same thing (i.e. to find out which numbers are missing).

    Could you help me out please?

    Thanks a lot.

    Kitty
