Google Spreadsheet Match Values of Two Columns

Question:

( by Mehdi Bamou )

Hi,

Thank you for reading this topic :)

Well, i do have this :

Col1    |    Col2

----------------------------------

3               5

5               9

7               7

9               1

2               0

12             3

4

5

and i wount to get a colum Col3 with the element that exist in col1 but not in col2, then a Col4 that have element existing in Col2 but not in Col1

i did try to use Query, but not a chance to make it work ...

 = query("A3:B";"Select A where A is in array(B3:B)") // please tell me if this one exist !

Thank you

Solution:


Have a look at the following screenshot of my Spreadsheet:

I have the following formula in Cell C1:
=query(arrayformula(iferror(if(match(A3:A;B3:B;0);"");A3:A));"select Col1 where Col1 is not null";0)

And I have the following formula in Cell D1:
=query(arrayformula(iferror(if(match(B3:B;A3:A;0);"");B3:B));"select Col1 where Col1 is not null";0)
