Dear all, 

 

 

I have two columns A and B contains lots of mobile numbers, I want to check the data in column B with data in column A and filter the numbers which are unique not exist in column A and write them in new column C. 

 

Any help in that please?

Unfortunately, I have the actual data but I can't share it due to privacy. Do you have any idea on how I can do it?

 

Thanks

Can you please explain your requirement based on the data shown above? Also , it would be great if you can specify the numbers needed in Column C  based on the data shown above.

There's a couple of routes to do this, but you'll likely just need a join, using the numbers as a key.

 

Depending on your use case, the three anchors out of the join tool (L,J,R) will give you what you're looking for.

Hi @vishnuharinarayanan ,

 

I have in column A a list of mobile phone and in column B also a list of mobile phone. I want to create a workflow so that take each number in column B and check it with column A. If the number exist in column A ignore it if it's not write the number in column C so at the end I will have a list of mobile phone in column C which are in Column written in column B only not in A and B.

Hi Feras,

 

Here i am attaching a sample workflow where you will get in Column C , the list of phone numbers that are present only in Column A. 

 

Let me know if this your requirement.
