Jacob,

list a is in column a, list b is in column b, will your macro work like
that? if so, HOW DO I use that code? sorry, am clueless on how to do that
part :(

Hi Ralph

Try the below macro. Assume your data starts in row1 ..

Sub Extract()
Dim c As Range, lngRow As Long
For Each c In Range("B1:B" & Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row)
If WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("A:A"), c.Text) = 0 Then _
lngRow = lngRow + 1: Range("C" & lngRow) = c.Text
Next
End Sub

Hi,

I have several massive lists that I need some excel kung fu help with. Best
way to explain the challenge is with an example. I have lists A & B and want
to make list C as follows:

list A - dog, cat, ball, orange, cloud, peppers
list B - hockey, beer, smart, rain, ball, ocean

list C basically needs to be the same as list B EXCEPT with any entries in
it that are also in list A removed, in this case "ball" needs to be removed,
so list C becomes

list C - hockey, beer, smart, rain, ocean

comprende'? can anyone PLEASE HELP with this?

Thanks!

p.s. one minor technicality, both lists have identical entries in them, i.e.
list A might have dog in it 15 times, etc..
