Default Check if number already are in the sheet

You don't need a macro. You can use validation... Try this. Highlite column A
(A1 should be the active cell). Select Data|Format -Custom and add this
formula

=COUNTIF(A:A, A1) =1

Now try adding values into column A. It should not allow duplicates...
