Default help comparing two sets od data to find the odd data

One other play to try, using non-array formulas ..

A sample construct is available at
http://cjoint.com/?bmcWaX0LrO
Compare 2 data sets & extract differences_matsgulis.xls

Assuming source data for set1 & set2
are in cols A & B, data from row2 down

Extracting set1's items not found in set2:

Put in C2:
=IF(A2="","",IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,B:B,0)),"",ROW() ))

Put in D2:
=IF(ISERROR(SMALL(C:C,ROW(A1))),"",
INDEX(A:A,MATCH(SMALL(C:C,ROW(A1)),C:C,0)))

Select C2:D2, copy down to last row of data in set1
Col D returns the results, all neatly bunched at the top

Extracting set2's items not found in set1:

Put in E2:
=IF(B2="","",IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B2,A:A,0)),"",ROW() ))

Put in F2:
=IF(ISERROR(SMALL(E:E,ROW(A1))),"",
INDEX(B:B,MATCH(SMALL(E:E,ROW(A1)),E:E,0)))

Select E2:F2, copy down to last row of data in set2
Col F returns the results, all neatly bunched at the top
