Dear All,
I have a data excel, I need a formula which will do a lookup in column A (sheet 2) to find the names which doesn’t exist in column A (sheet 1) if found it placed that name into column A (sheet 1).
For example:
Sheet 1 Sheet 2

Column A	Column B

Formula to place “B” automatically

<tbody>
</tbody>

Column A	Column B

B	2

<tbody>
</tbody>

I know lots of excel kings are here and I hope my query will resolve .

You're not bothering me.

As I said before why do you need to duplicate your data? Why can't you just use what's on Sheet2? Remember that you can see your workbook but I can't.

Yaa i know you can't see my workbook, i just want a formula which can prepare a list from a column data of unique entries.

May be you can understand what i want as a formula to look this...
