Hello H S,

Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad you found the article helpful. Regarding your question, you can use Excel formulas to find the names that are missing from one column compared to the other. Here’s a simple approach:

1. Find names in Column A that are not in Column B:
Use this formula in Column C (starting from C1):

=IF(COUNTIF(B:B, A1)=0, A1, “”)
Drag this formula down to check for all names in Column A that are missing in Column B.

2. Find names in Column B that are not in Column A:
Use this formula in Column D (starting from D1):

=IF(COUNTIF(A:A, B1)=0, B1, “”)
This will list names in Column B that are not found in Column A.

3. Combine the results in one column (optional):
You can combine the unique names from Columns C and D using Excel’s FILTER or UNIQUE function if needed.
