Default Compare and Return Results

Thanks, Joel. Actually, your solution helps the first time, but I was a bit
slow on catching on ! :)

Add a column to both worksheets with the formula. The number will be either 1
or 0. I could be higher if names werre duplicated on each list.

You statement below got me confused : I'm looking for Names that are not on
both Worksheets.

Joel, this works by identifying whether the name occurs once or twice. But
in the case that the name only occurs on (1) list, I need to know what list
it occurs on. Do you know what I can do to identify that?

It looks like you have a third worksheet with a complete list of names? I
would put all data on one worksheet.

Row Search List count A List B list

1
2
3

In the count column use the formula
=countif($c$2:$d$100,A1)
$c$2:$d$100 is the rqange of where you have all the names
A1 is the cell that has the name you are looking for.

copy the formul down in every cell in column B.
The entries in column b with 0 are the names that weren't found.

I want to compare one column on Worksheet A to another Column on Worksheet B.
Proper Names will be iin boths Columns. I'm looking for Names that are not
on both Worksheets. That is, if the name is not found on both Worksheets, I
want to capture that name/result. What can I do to obtain this? thanks!
