    if the unique id is on both sheets, then you can probably just use a COUNTIF() function.....then filter the bigger.

    if the unique id is not on the Bigger Data Base, then you might have to use a VLOOKUP() or INDEX() and MATCH() to put the unique id on the bigger.

    if you want a specific formula, then a sample or an example would be needed.
