It is something like IF(A2<$F$2:$F$21,B2,0) except you can't say "does not equal a range." I don't know the right way to say, "is not found in that range" in Excelspeak.
Can anyone help?

Dear Iyanna, Good Afternoon.
Your explanation was very well.
This a typical case to use the VLOOKUP FUNCTION.
Your Scenery:
___A____________B__________C__________D_E_F
1__Account Num__$ Amount___$ Amount 2_________Account to be Excluded
2_______1__________10______=FORMULA__________2
3_______2__________33______=FORMULA__________4
4_______3___________5______=FORMULA__________5
5_______4__________89______=FORMULA__________8
6_______5_________150______=FORMULA
7_______6__________16______=FORMULA
8_______7_________865______=FORMULA
9_______8__________67______=FORMULA
10______9__________44______=FORMULA
FORMULA:
C2 -- =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,$F$2:$F$10,1,FALSE)),B2,"DE LETE")
Copy it down untill C10
The results must be like these ones:
___A____________B__________C__________D_E_F
1__Account Num__$ Amount___$ Amount 2_________Account to be Excluded
2_______1__________10_________10_______________2
3_______2__________33________DELETE____________4
4_______3___________5__________5_______________5
5_______4__________89________DELETE____________8
6_______5_________150________DELETE
7_______6__________16_________16
8_______7_________865________DELETE
9_______8__________67_________67
10______9__________44_________44
You must adapt the contents of column C, eg. BLANK
You must adapt the interval of column F as your reality.
In this case the search works at F2:F10 but your necessity can be F2:F1450
Implement this one and tell me if it worked for you.
Fell free to ask anything about it.
