Just do conditional formating and select unique values

This is good. I will definitely use this. How do you combine lists that have similar list items and each list also has unique list items into one list without duplicates?
@RabiGurungXybernetics
11 ай бұрын
Good question. I would drop the NOT() function from the example in my video and surround the final function using a UNIQUE() function. The formula would look like this. =UNIQUE(FILTER(A2:A27,COUNTIF(B2:B19,A2:A27))) I hope that helps, let me know if you have further question(s).
Thank u

How did you get formulae explanation when you are writing formulae ?
@RabiGurungXybernetics

When you start typing a formula in a cell in Google Sheets, the application will provide you with formula suggestions based on what you've typed so far. Once you select a formula, you'll notice a tooltip that pops up, explaining the syntax of the formula and how to use its parameters. Additionally, if you click on the "fx" button next to the formula bar, a dialog box will appear that allows you to browse all the available formulas in Google Sheets. You can search for a specific formula or browse by category. Once you select a formula, you'll be able to read a detailed explanation of its syntax and usage. I hope this helps!
I dont like too much formula in my file, If I want to get the absentee, I'd just copy both columns into 1 single column and remove duplicates. but this is quite helpful as a template.

Wouldn't that give just give me a mixed of names in Attendee and Registered, but unique names only? This is the output I got following your recommendation. Claire Railey Gurung Hailey Rose Gurung Kara Owen Bridgett Curry Emil Patton Mario Rosario Mason Murillo Edison Brooks Odell Sheppard Justine Gardner Toni York Bettye Rhodes Isaias Vaughan Brad Marsh Mike Pugh Grant Galloway Corrine Zhang Barry Fischer Maricela Jacobson Toby Nicholson Darron Ewing Gerry Dillon Philip Townsend Olive Colon Maritza Alvarado Truman Rubio This should be the correct output (like in the video). Odell Sheppard Toni York Isaias Vaughan Mike Pugh Corrine Zhang Barry Fischer Darron Ewing Maritza Alvarado These are the steps I did. 1) Combine both names into one column. 2) Data ~ Data Tools ~ Remove Duplicates

@@RabiGurungXybernetics oh yeah, forgot about that. My usual step is Copy everything in one column > condition formatting > filter the duplicates > delete forgot about the function of remove duplicates that it only removes the duplicates and not remove both duplicate names. but I am currently using your formula as a template to check daily biometric logins.
Will it work on different languages?

I used it but it didn't highlight the correct names. A lot of the names that appeared on the absentee list were in both registered and attendee columns. Really weird.
