Hi there,

in cell C1 you could type the following formulae:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(B1,A:A,0)),"",B1) and then drag this formulae down to other
cells.

You could then copy and paste the values from column C elsewhere, sort it to
remove the blanks, and there's your list of numbers that appear in Column B
but not in Column A.

HTH,
Katherine
