difference between two filtered lists in excel
Thanks. I see what you are doing there and that makes sense; however, it doesn't quite work for what I am wanting to do. The xlookup embedded in the filter function is essentially just finding the difference between the two lists with no connection to the number associated with that person. I am trying to find the difference between the two list for everyone that has a certain number associated with them. Meaning, who is a "1" on the first list and who is a "1" on the second list, and now what is the difference between them. Any thoughts on this? Thanks again.
abrummet But that is exactly what the formula is doing. You asked for a formula that could determine the difference between two list, filtered for the number 1.
You can cut-out the interim steps to make an "all-in-one-formula" like this:
=FILTER(FILTER(B2:B6,C2:C6=1),XLOOKUP(FILTER(B2:B6,C2:C6=1),FILTER(E2:E4,F2:F4=1),FILTER(E2:E4,F2:F4=1),1)=1)
Make it easier to read/maintain by using named ranges, rather than direct cell references and a hard-coded numbers 1. Since you are on a recent Excel version, consider using LET to avoid the repeating portions in the formula. But perhaps I have missed your point all-together.
Edit: Didn't see your last two posts until I posted mine.
