Default columns of numbers

I have 2 columns of numbers. The first column has all the numbers of the
second column and more.
Do you know how I can eliminate those extra numbers from the first column
so that I only have those of the second column remaining?

Yes. These are part numbers and they have letters in them.
All the numbers in the second column are in the first column but notvi
vice versa

Hi,

Select both the columns. Go to the Menu, Data €“ Filter €“ AutoFilter. From
the drop down arrow of the second column, select (Blanks). Now select the
entire rows by clicking the gray number part of Excel. Go to the Menu, Edit
€“ Go To €“ Special and select Visible cells only and delete the entire rows.
Go to the arrow of the second column and select (All). Try it.

Regards,

Jaleel
