A few factors…
- You could work with each the cell references and the cell values
- Numbers does not will let you delete a cell
- You could specify the desk within the script, not merely the sheet
What this script does is cycles via every worth of the usedList and cycle via the masterList to see if there’s a match. Each lists are reversed so later entries are processed first however given you can’t delete cells, this may not produce any profit.
When it finds an identical cell within the masterList, it clears the worth after which strikes on to the subsequent entry within the usedList — so it assumes that there might be solely a single match for every usedList merchandise.
If you wish to put the usedList right into a second desk, you are able to do so by together with ‘desk 2’ in any references to the usedList. If the 2 are in separate tables, then it’d make it simpler to kind the ensuing masterList, and thus push the clean cells down beneath any with a remaining worth.
