Write Values That Are Present in Both Ranges
How do I coax excel into writing the values present in 2 ranges into another column? In the example below it would omit "q" because it's only present in one range.
Column A Column B Desired Outcome
y y y
z z z
q

Using an if statement with 3 arguments
=IF(logical test, result if test true, result if test false)
in your example, cell C2 would be:
=IF(A2=B2, A2, '')
The empty string is necessary or you get 0 as the result if false

If there is any possibility that A and B can both be blank, they will pass the = test, but the blank will display as a zero instead of a blank. If there's any chance that zero could be a legitimate A and B value, you couldn't just control it with formatting. In that case, you could use a variant of the formula like:=IF(OR(A2="",A2<>B2),"",A2).
