Default finding missing data between two worksheets

I think I figured out what the problem is... for some reason my excel
program isn't updating the formulas when I copy down. It copies the formula
but also copies the same number as is in the cell above. Same thing is
happening when I update numbers which are linked to a graph. The graph is
not updating to represent the numbers in the cells associated. How do I fix
this?

Did you enter this on Sheet 1?
If all cells in B are same as A then it means that all values in Sheet 1 Col
A are present in Sheet 2 Col A
If that is the case then try the reverse
Enter in B1 of Sheet 2 and copy down
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:A,1,False)

Didn't work. Entered the exact formula and all I get in column B when
copying down is the first value in A1...

If you have both lists in Col A of Sheet1 and Sheet2 respectively, then in B1
of Sheet1 enter
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:A,1,False) and copy down.

Filter on Col B on #N/A... these will be the missing from Sheet2, Col A

I have a master list of people and their ID number in worksheet 1. I'm
trying to find the missing individuals from what I have in worksheet 2 and
put them in a new worksheet 3. Please tell me the easiest way to do this...

Thank you,
