Looking to subtract one list of values from another
Hi
one way to identify your duplicates:
- create helper columns for both worksheets (lets say column E). enter
the following formula
=A1&B1&C1&D1
copy this down
now on your second sheet enter the following formula in F1
=IF(COUNTIF('sheet1'!$E$1:$E$10,E1)0,"Duplicate", "")
now you can filter the data for this columns and delete theses rows

Hi,
If someone could heelp me with this you could save my friday for me!!
I have a problem in this format (man it's hard to articulate this)
worksheet1 has 4 columns and 10 rows of data.
worksheet2 has 4 columns and 20 rows of data.
I know that that rows in worksheet1 are duplicated in worksheet2, so
I
need to "subtract" one set from the other to leave the unduplicated
records.
I should point out that some rows are common for both workbooks but
not duplicated.....i.e. the first workbook contains, let's say 3 A's,
the second contains 4 A's but only the 3 of these are duplicate.
If you can understand any of what I've written and have any
suggestions, they'd be gratefully received.
