Moving data from one column to another
I have an excel spreadsheet with two columns of data. I have used
conditional formatting to compare the two columns to find the numbers that do not have a match (those numbers are now red font color). Now I would like to take those red numbers and move them to another column. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Tania |

In your new column, simply put the same formula as you used in conditional
formatting to change the format to red. Or, If you have XL2007, you can use the Data Filter to filter by color. Regards, Fred. "TLAngelo" wrote in message ...

Moving data from one column to another
Thank you for your response Fred. I don't understand though. If I put the
same formula in the next column, nothing happens. I want to move the numbers that have only one instance to another column. My data is set up in two columns, both columns should have the same data in them, but they do not. I have identified which numbers do not have a match and they all occur in column b, but I wanted to move them to a new column so I won't have to scroll throuh the entire list.

We need more specifics. What is your conditional formatting formula?

Moving data from one column to another
Column A and Column B both have numbers in them (all numbers are font color
"red"), there should be a match to all numbers in Column A in Column B, however there is not. Conditional formatting for column A is =COUNTIF(B:B,A1) and format to use when condition is true is to turn the numbers black. Conditional formatting for Column B is =COUNTIF(A:A,B1) and format to use when condition is true is to turn the numbers black. So, I now have a list which has red numbers here and there (all in column B though). The red numbers are numbers that do not have a match in Column A. So, I want to move all the red numbers to column C, so I don't have to scroll through the entire list to find them (it goes through 10284, so that's alot of scrolling!) Hope that makes more sense!

Moving data from one column to another
OK, so then in column C you want:
=if(not(countif(A:A,b1)),b1,"") and copy down. That will copy all the entries in column B which don't meet the condition. Hope this helps, Fred. "TLAngelo" wrote in message ...
