    Why was my answer not accurate. Why do you need help doing this exercise? Can't you do it yourself ? I don't think that 'it is not accurate' is a proper response to my question.

    How do you want to check? One number at a time for B? How do you want to show the answer? One answer each?
    For example:
    Code:
    A      B      C
    201    35     no
    211    53     no
    21254  212    no
    22     3256   no
    35     201    yes
    25     635    no
    53     656    no
    Would that suffice?

    Thanks a lot!

    I wanted the numbers which are present in both column A as well as column B.

    I also want the numbers which are present in column B but not in Column A.

    Could this is possible? If yes Please provide the instructions.

    Kind Regards,
    Tej

    You'll need to do this in two steps. The formula you want, based on your example, is:
    Code:
    =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B1,$A$1:$B$7,2,FALSE)),"no","yes")
    (see the picture below)

    After you enter the formula and copy it into column C for all entries, you'll have yes/no for each line. Now highlight ALL THREE columns, and SORT by column C (see the second part of the pic below). Now all the yes answers are together and you have all the numbers grouped.
