Default How to creat new list by subtraction

One play which can deliver this ..

Assume source lists are in identically structured sheets: Master, Subset
in cols A and B, data from row1 down, with key col = col A (eg: unique ID
#s)

In another sheet, titled: Balance (say)

In A1:
=IF(Master!A1="","",IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(Master!A1,Su bset!A:A,0)),"",ROW()))

In B1:
=IF(ROW()COUNT($A:$A),"",INDEX(Master!A:A,SMALL($ A:$A,ROW())))

Copy B1 to C1 (as there 2 cols of source data. Just copy across by as many
cols). Then select A1:C1, copy down to cover the max extent of data expected
in Master. Hide away col A. Cols B to C will return the required "balance"
list ie lines in Master not in Subset, with all results neatly bunched at
the top.

Hello All,

I'm new to Excell 2007 from Quattro Pro. I have two
spread sheet mailing lists: (1) Master list. (2) Recently
Mailed list (subset of master list). I would like to
subtract-out (consolidate by removal) the recently
mailed list from the Master list, leaving me with a new
list of yet-to-be-mailed names. How you Excell folks
do that?

Many thanks,

Maggie
