Hi I am trying to compare two columns. One has the only unique numbers, the other has blanks, text and numbers (some of them more than once).

What I would like to achieve is an output into column C that finds all the numbers from column B, that are also in Column A
and those Numbers that are in A, but not in B (into Column D)
and those that are in B, but not in A. (into Column E)

spaces between the values in columns C to E are o.k

Ideally without a repeat of the duplicates.

f.e
<table x:str="" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 106pt;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="140"><col style="width: 53pt;" span="2" width="70"> <tbody><tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> <td style="height: 12.75pt; width: 53pt;" width="70" height="17">

</td> <td class="xl23" x:num="798247900" align="right">798247900</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

I had a look at some of the coding efforts, but none seems to work.

(As the columns are actually on separate worksheets and the final information is to be put onto a new worksheet. This is, as both worksheets are constantly updated)

Thanks
