Excel - Compare data from two columns

Issue
Solution

Issue

I'm using Excel 2007 and am trying to figure out a way to analyze and sort some data.

I have two sets of data in 6 and 5 columns in the same worksheet, each approximately 2000 rows in length. Columns A, B, C, D, E, and F include the following data respectively (Name, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone Number). Columns G, H, I, J and K include the following data respectively (Name, Address, City, State, Zip).

I'm wanting to compare the two Address columns (Column B and Column H). If an address in Column B is not found in Column H, I would like the entire row associated with that particular cell to be output into either a separate sheet or in columns M, N, O, P, Q and R. For example, if there is an address in cell B4 that is not found anywhere in column H, I would like cells A4, B4, C4, D4, E4 and F4 to be displayed in a separate sheet or columns M, N, O, P, Q and R, whichever might be possible or easier.

Solution

E.g if data is listed as below:

Name	 Address	 City	 State	 Zip	 Phone Number	Name	 Address	 City	 State	 Zip 
x	asd	x	x	x	x	x	asd	x	x	x 
x	fgh	x	x	x	x	x	ghk	x	x	x 
x	wer	x	x	x	x	x	yui	x	x	x

In M2 type this formula and drag it over the concerned cells.
```
=IF($B2<>$H2,A2,"") 
```

Thanks to venkat1926 for this tip.
