Comparing SharePoint Lists and identifying missing values

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 34

I have two sharepoint lists with the column Responsible Lawyers repeated in both.  I am trying to compare where the lists have a value and where they do not.  The purpose being trying to understand who has returned a form which must be submitted every month.  Can someone please explain what the expression should be to identify the items that are missing in the second list, but present in the first? 

 

Thanks for any help!
