Comparing lists in excel?

[DxxS]

Hi, I have 2 lists of numbers in excel, both lists are about 40000 long each. I need to see how many records match and see what ones are unmatched?

Does anyone know of an easy way to do this? Have tried 'IF' but could only make it check individual cells rather than the whole list?

Cheers.

Thanks, i couldnt figure it out from that guide, done some more googling and found the below guide if anyone else is interested, using =IFCOUNT.
