@gary_elley thanks for the suggestion! May I ask whether you or your team members encountered this pain point in the day to day life? Want to evaluate how important the feature is. But again, thanks for bring this up, it might be the next small tool supported in sheets refiner!
Another tool I would use is one that compares values in two columns and highlights the values that are not duplicates. (ie highlight the unique values).
@gary_elley right now remove duplicates in sheets refiner did that in row base, but it could be valuable to do column base as well. May I know your use case in mind? I mean what scenarios / applications that could be useful?
@james_cui use case is where I want to compare values from the same column in two sheets that are laid out the same way. I don't mind manually merging the two sheets prior to running a 'compare' routine. Essentially, it's comparing similar data from two sources.
