Using QuickList, you can perform difference or intersect operations on any lists

Performing difference and intersect operations

QuickList can save you from the boring task of comparing two or more lists and performing logical operations, such as difference or intersect operations.

When performing a difference operation, though an easy to use interface you can choose which source to be differenced from the other (A - B or B - A). The goal of the Dedupe operation is to automatically compare two source lists, to identify unique lines of source A or of source B and to save them into a single, output list.

For example, if one list contains the items A and B, while the second list contains the items B and C, then deduping source A against source B will result into a list containing only the A item. Deduping source B against source A will result into a list containing only the C item. A progress bar will be displayed during the intersection process. Once the job is done, you will see the results displayed in the Output panel. You can then further tweak the list or you can save it to your disk, as a CSV file.

The goal of the Intersect operation is to automatically compare two source lists, to identify similar lines and to save them into a single, output list. To start an Intersect operation, you need to firstly import two source lists into the source panels. Then, you need to click on the Intersect icon from the top toolbar.
