This probably isn't exactly what you want but your certainly welcome to try it.
If your first list is in column A and your second is in B1:B1000, in C1 you could put: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,$B$1:$B$1000,1,0)),"",A1) Then copy the formula down thru the last row of A column data. You will end up with blanks in column C where a value from column A is not in column B. Also if a given value can exist more than once in column A you could have duplicates in column C. If there are no duplicates, at worst you'd just need to copy column C over to a blank sheet and sort it to get rid of the blanks Will "jb" wrote: i have two list of names of 500 to 1000 in size that are in two different columns.
