I have a list with two columns. Column A has all the names, and column B has numbers. I have another list with the same columns but more names and numbers. I would like to find the best way to subtract list 1 numbers from list 2 if they the names match. Those names that are unique in list 2 should be sorted at the bottom of the list. Please help. Thank you.

If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Hi
I would use VLookup from a column next to list 1. Then sort but vlookup column then delete rows coming up with a match.


=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A1:B1000,1,FALSE)
the cells that come up with an error do not have a match.

Thanks
