Default Urgent!! compare 2 columns of numbers for duplicates

I have 2 columns of loan numbers, Scheduled Sales and Actual Sales (1 column
is considerably shorter than the other), and I need to find which of the
scheduled sale loan numbers do not appear in the actual sale list. I've
tried multiple formulas and am not having any luck. I'm running out of time
and would love some help!

Default Urgent!! compare 2 columns of numbers for duplicates

use the VLookup( ) function in a helper column next to the Scheduled Sales
column
=Vlookup(scheduled sales loan #,Actual Sales table pointing at loan #
column,1,false)

Anything that comes up 'N/A' means it's in the Schedule Sales Loans but NOT
in the Actual Sales Loans.
