trying to use google spreadsheet to find names that appear in column A but not B.
I have a list of names in column A and a list of names in column B.  Some of the names in A are the same as B.  I am hoping to use google spreadsheet to find the names that appear in column A, but not column B.

Thanks,
Patrick

please note that when the following formula
=filter(A2:A; isna(match(A2:A; B2:B; 0)))
that I have used in a solution posted in another thread did not work 
further investigation indicated that names in your column B list have some extraneous (other than space) characters
