I am using EXCEL 97.

I am wanting to compare two columns of names, if say column 'B' is different
to column 'A' then I want a third column say column 'C' to be created with
the entries which are different.

Can anyone assist me please with some code?

Without VBA, but with a formula:

=A1=B1
and copy down.
Gives you TRUE when they are the same and FALSE if they are not.

Variation:
=IF(A1=B1;"";B1)
and copy down.
Gives you blanks when A and B are equal, and B if they are different.

Please don't thank me in advance. Thank me afterwards if it works or
hit me in the face if it doesn't. ;-)
