Default Extract only non-matching data


I've read through similar posts and tried their macros but still can't
find a solution.

I have 2 sheets one which is downloaded each time and a master one.
both have a list of items and i want to be able to with a macro search
the newly downloaded list and only update the master list with items
that a new or don't already exist. So just the non-matching ones. i
tried this macro but i onyl get a list of all data and evcen then im
having trouble copying it accross.

Sub Find_Matches()
Dim CompareRange As Variant
Dim x As Variant
Dim y As Variant
Set CompareRange = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C2:C120")
Dim dMat As String
For Each x In Selection
For Each y In CompareRange
If x < y Then
dMat = y
ActiveCell = dMat
Else
ActiveCell = "No Item"
End If
Next y
Next x

All i want to do is compare 2 columns of the same type - as in use that
as the unique identifier "item number"

Thanks
