I would like to know how to compare two columns in two different sheets, and only show the unique values.

I have two lists of email addresses, yet there are some duplicates in them. Would like to know how to get only the unique values of these sheets.

I have already tried the count() function/formula, yet it only counts and displays a number.

Example:

List 1:

- email@address.com
- otheremail@address.com
- someemail@address.com

List 2:

- email@address.com
- someonesemail@address.com
- someemail@address.com

In this example otheremail@address.com and someonesemail@address.com would be the unique values. I would like these to be displayed after the function being executed.

  • Thansk Ian, but it seems it still only removes duplicates and doesnt show only the unique values. Or i am doing something wrong.. – Jeroen ven Oct 15 '15 at 10:56

You can stack the lists by copying and pasting them into one column, then insert a pivot table with the stacked list as the data source. Pull in email address and it will have 1 row per email.

Or, one you have a stacked list, on the data tab, you can use the remove duplicate function to return a distinct list of values.

Vlookup is the function you are looking for.

  • You insert a Vlookup function.. By clicking Formulas - insert function - Vlookup. You can find a full explanation of using the Vlookup function here: [link](http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/13780/using-vlookup-in-excel/) – L. Klotz Oct 15 '15 at 11:07
