i am having troubles with the excel function Countif.
I got 2 columns A and B and they should contain (almost) the same entries – which is what i am testing for and i need to know which entries are different. Order does not matter.
columns are actually tickers and look like this

ok, so i use countif to identify the entries of column B which are not in column A.
Countif(A:A;B1)
Countif(A:A;B2)
...
The result is a column full of zeros, which is just not correct.
other simple tests like
a a 1
b b 1
c c 1
d d 1
e e 1
f f 1
g g 2
g h 0
work just fine!
What am I doing wrong right here?
Thanks in advance!
Are you sure the data in column A and B is the same (no extra space etc)?
