Hi! I'm trying to create an Excel formula that will compare two lists of email addresses and display the non-matching email address. Does anyone know how this can be done?

thanks in advance!

You need to be clearer on what you're trying to do.

Say you have two lists of email addresses... are you comparing the first entry of list 1 against the first entry of list 2, then the second entry of list 1 with the second entry of list 2, etc. OR

are you comparing the first entry of list 1 with all the entries in list 2, then the second entry in list 1 with all the entries in list 2, etc. OR

something else?

You could use the "Match" formula which will generate an error if it doesn't find a corresponding entry on the comparison sheet

Say your comparison list is in cells B1:B100 and the cells you're testing start in A1

In cell C1, type =Match(A1,$B$1:$B$100,0) and copy this all the way down your list
