I have a question for Excel knowers

Some of the items in A and B are duplicates
I'd like to obtain a C column sustaing of items that appear in column A but

Try something like this:

With your 2 lists in Col_A and Col_B, and both lists having a column heading.
I'll use List1 for the Col_A heading and List2 for the Col_B heading.

E1: Test
E2: =ISERROR(MATCH(A2,$B:$B,0))

C1: List1

Select your Col_A list
DataFilterAdvanced Filter
ChecK: Copy to another location
Check: Unique records only
List range: (your already selected List1 data)
Criteria range: $D$1:$D$2
Copy to: $C$1
Click the [OK] button

That should create a list of List1 items that are not included in List2.

Adjust ranges to suit your situation.

Does that help?
