Hi Surendra,

The following formula will place all missing data from column B in column C:
C1: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,B:B,1,0)),A1,"")

Drag formula down for the rest of the results.

Best regards,
Trowa

Hi Surenda,

Putting multiple values in a single cell is not the way to work with Excel.
Try using the text delimiter option (found under the Data ribbon) and then transpose your data (a paste special option) to setup your data the "right" way.

Best regards,
Trowa
