I have a monthly list (about 20,000 items give or take) I upload at work that save for about 1,000 items the list is identical. Is there a way I can filter out anything the same completely and be left with only new items on that list?
 

Excel Facts

Last used cell?
Press Ctrl+End to move to what Excel thinks is the last used cell.
I have tried this but it only removes 1 of the 2 items. I want to remove all data that is repeated and be left with new items only.

C2:

=COUNTIF($A$2:$A$8,A2)=1

Fire up Data|Filter|Advanced Filter.
Check Copy to another location.
Set:

List range to: $A$1:$A$8
Criteria range to: $C$1:$C$2
Copy to to: $C$3

Leave alone the Unique records only option.

Click OK.
