Excel - extracting data based on another list

Question

I have an Excel worksheet with two columns (name/ID) and then another list that is a subset of the names only from the larger aforementioned list. I want to go through the subse

Answer 1

I have been hasseling with that as other folks have.

I used the criteria;

=countif(matchingList,C2)=0

where matchingList is the list that i am using as a filter.

have a look at this

The trick i found is that normally you would have the column heading in the criteria matching the data column heading. this will not work for criteria that is a formula.

What I found was if I left the column heading blank for only the criteria that has the countif formula in the advanced filter works. If I have the column heading i.e. the column heading for column C2 in my formula example then the filter return no output.

Hope this helps
