Help, use Excel to compare two sets of values to keep the duplicates and remove the extraneous value
chris4153021 Depending on your Excel version, look into the XLOOKUP or VLOOKUP functions.
Lookup all values from A in B and vice versa. If a matching result is returned the value exists in the other list. If not, the value does not exist in the other list.
Riny_van_Eekelen Thanks for the help, but I'm stuck. I don't know how to do this. I have the values in collum A and B now on the same sheet. They are order numbers. The orders in set A are a list of all order numbers belonging to me. The orders in set B are orders that were billed shipping charges, but they are from a mix of orders that are mine, and orders that are not mine. I need to figure out, using the two tables, which orders are not mine. It is the same situation as I previously described. I am not sure what to plug into xloopup to yield these results. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

chris4153021 Have a look at the attached file. I've entered one very basic formula in B2 and a similar one in E2. Since you have XLOOKUP, you can use the dynamic array feature that spills the results for all rows in one go. File attached.
