I'm trying to create column where there are hundreds of items in a and b column, and I want to remove common items in b column and list them in different column in excel or google sheet.

a b items present in b column only
a1 a1 a5
a2 a2 a6
a3 a5
a4 a6

Excel:

enter image description here

Formula in C2:

=FILTER(B2:B5,COUNTIF(B2:B5,A2:A5)=0)

Google-Sheets:

Almost the same, but less explicit: =FILTER(B2:B,COUNTIF(B2:B,A2:A)=0)
