string comparison of columns

Hi,

I have server list (let's say A,B,C ) in 3 different columns of different excels which are not at all linked.

I want to subtract the list of servers (B+C) from A and create one column D.

I am using the expression (something like),

  if(match(A,B)=0,B) ,it is giving me values but when I am adding all these columns in one table then it is creating duplicates.

Please let me know what is wrong here.

Thanks.

Hey kamal,

Thanks for your time.

I missed on one thing, I need the output in straight table not in list boxes.

and when I am adding all in one table ,it is creating duplicates that I was mentioning earlier.

Please look at the sample output table that I have added above.

Thanks.

And to answer your question, when you include multiple fields from non linked table in a table. It works like a cross join, hence you will see every item from List1 would have every corresponding item from List1.

Also, you can easily remove the first dimension List (you might not require it). I just added it show all the servers in all the list.
