How to get rid of unwanted names in a list

 

How to get rid of unwanted names in a list

(no formulae, no PQ)

Suppose you have a list of names (in col. A) from which you need to exclude names that appear in a different list (col. C)

 

This can be easily done in a few simple steps without formulae or Power Query:

 

A .  we prepare two lists

In col. A – the original list

In col. C – the list of names to exclude from the original list.

                                                    Pic No.1


 

B .  we "color" in yellow all the names in col. A

                                                            Pic No.2

 

 

C.  Find duplicates using Conditional Formatting
select both columns-> Conditional Formatting-> Highlight Cells Rules->Duplicate Values

 

 

                                                Pic No.3

 

D. Filter the list in col. A and select: Filter by cell color.

You should, of course, select the yellow color




                                                     Pic No.4

E. Final Result: now the list in col. A contains only names that do not appear in the list of col. C

 


                                                                Pic No.5
