I always think MSDN documentation is better place to before asking a question on CP.

Look here, it is quite descriptive:

Solution 2

Please see the below example

SQL

select * from tablename1
except
select * from tablename2

Note : while using except

All queries combined using a UNION, INTERSECT or EXCEPT operator must have an equal number of expressions in their target lists.

Mark it answer if it is your solution.

Thanks
Ashish
