Default deduplicate data in excel

Dave
I tried the following formula in a test worksheet using one column named
Range with same data as displayed on the website

=IF(MAX(COUNTIF(Range1,Range1))1,"Duplicates","No Duplicates")

Then I pressed CTRL+Shift+Enter
I get the following result
#NAME?

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Much appreciate your help

What formula did you use?

Where's your data?

I've never had trouble with the formulas.

I have looked at this site, but cannot get the formula to work?
Must be doing something wrong. Have you tried it?
Do you have a working spreadsheet wtih this formula?

Thanks for you help
