Hi,

Let's say you ahve the 2 lists in 2 sheets.

Finance (a complete list) is on Sheet1, and Active (a subset of finance), is
on sheet 2.

Let's assume there are 30 names on sheet1, running from A2: A31, and 12
names on Sheet2, running from A2: A14.

On Sheet1, Cell B2, type: =IF(ISERROR((vlookup($A$2:$A$31,
Sheet2!$A$2:$A$14, 1, 0)), "Not Active", ((vlookup($A$2:$A$31,
Sheet2!$A$2:$A$14, 1, 0))).

This will either return the person's name from Sheet2, or "Not Active" text.
You can then use DataFilterAutofilter to display only those names which
have a "Not Active" against them.

Hope this helps.

Warm regards

Sunil Jayakumar

maybe....

=if(iserror(match(a2,sheet2!$a$2:$a$14,0)),"not active",a2)

(if you're returning the same value, you might as well just use the lookup
value.)
