RD's suggested formula
*=IF(COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)2,"Dup","Ok")*
will work. The third time the same name is entered in Column A, the
immediate cell to its right (in Column B) will show "Dup" ...

Hmmm. Don't think that works, either
Maybe:
=IF(COUNTIF($A$20:A2,A2)2,"Dup","Ok")

Believe you have a typo?!?!

Hi,
Assume the entries are within A2:A20
e.g. B2=IF(COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)1,"Dup","Ok")
and copy down to B20

Hi,
I have a problem which I need someone to look at. I have a list of
11
teams and I need a formula to check the data and for it to identify
an
error message if more than two of the same teams are listed.
e.g.
Arsenal
Aston Villa
Liverpool
Chelsea
Arsenal
Wigan
West Brom
Arsenal
Arsenal
Birmingham
Liverpool
I would need a cell to highlight the error that there are two many
arsenal entries as only two are allowed
Can anyone help?
Regards
Paul
