This example look like that you want employee ids in sheet 2 which are not in sheet 1.

Supose your employee id is in Column B of both sheet.
now in sheet 2
insert a column next to B,
put formula in C2 as

=VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet1!B:B,1,FALSE)

drag it to last row.

now filter the value #N/A is the employee who are not in sheet 1.

Hope this will helps you.
