I have a list of NY State zip codes I provide service in. I combined that
with a list of all zip codes in NY State. I need to show just the zips I
don't provide service in.
How do I do that quickly.

If you put all your zip codes that you service in column A (starting at
row 2) and all the zip codes in NY in column B, then you can put the
following in cell C2 and fill down:

=IF(COUNTIF(A$2:A$100,B2)=0,"X","")

This will put an X in column C next to all the zips you don't service.
Then you can either sort based on column C or autofilter to only choose
those in column C.

One more quick note is that in my last response I only had it check from
rows 2 to 100 for your list of zip codes you service. If you have more than
99, just change the 100 to something larger.

Here is an example. Say your codes are in column A from A1 thru A20. Say
the NY codes are in column B from B1 thru B100. In C1 enter:

=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$20,B1)

and copy down to match all the B's. A zero in C means its not in your list.
A one in C means its in your list. Just sort B&C by C. All the zeros will
be at the top.

Worked like a charm. Thanks so much. I was able to figure out substituting
2205 zips in NY for your 100 value.
