Comparing 2 lists of data

I work with student data and often would like to see whether the same students take part in 2 separate modules. It can be a few hundred students, which makes it difficult to do manually. I would therefore like Excel to compare 2 lists of names for me and tell me who is not in which original list. How would I do that?

RE: Comparing 2 lists of data

Hi Evelyn,

Thank you for the forum question.

I have attached and Excel file. I have used 3 different to compare lists.
