can i use filters to compare data instead of vlookup?
 
I have to compare membership lists to identify if customers belong to certain
groups. Currently, I have been using Vlookup but I notice that there are too
many nuisances. Could I use a filter to compare two membership lists and give
me a more accurate answer?

Maybe try setting up a new sheet with List1, and entering a new column
indicating List1 in each row......then adding List 2 at the bottom and
entering List2 in the new column for each row in that section............then
do Data Filter AutoFilter and check the arrows at the tops of the columns
to filter from there........it may do what you're looking for.........
