Hello,
I want to compare two lists of names in an OpenOffice Calc document
column A is the 2009 members list and column B is the 2010 members list
I would like to display in a third column the names that are not present
in list 2
thank you in advance
Configuration: Windows Vista Firefox 3.0.13

Hello,
A suggestion:
the first line is for the titles, the data starts in line 2
column A = list 2008
column C = list 2009
in cell D2 the formula: =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A2,$C$2:$C$1000,0)),"",A2)
then drag it down
The result: Duplicate values are displayed in column B

I tested the formula, it works except that the duplicate name appears in column D
but that doesn't bother me. Thank you for your help, have a nice end of the day.

Thank you hunter_x_hunter,
Yes, it was my mistake with the formula in column "B," cell "B2," I apologize for that.
