I have two spreadsheets of employees from different dates

I need to figure out who is not on the most recent list. I was thinking I could put in a formula comparing social security numbers

can anyone suggest how this would best be achieved?

please and tia!

I think remove duplicates would work but that looks really complex and possibly over my head

I tried to just do highlight duplicates but there’s over a thousand rows on each spreadsheet and it was confusing

Use COUNTIF
formula would be like:
=COUNTIF(A1,B$1:B$99999)
Then drag down to bottom and then copy, paste values and filter to 0s

Vlookup the old list onto the new list (by SSN) and filter the results on "#N/A"

Hope that helps!

I was going to say to do the vlookup

The same function in access is a little easier with linked tables but sometimes you have to slum it and use excel
