Excel search for douplications
Hi friend,
You can do so by using the conditional formatting
Hope you know how to use the conditinal formating.
Say you want the A:A column to seach for the duplicates
1. Select A1 then,
In FomatConditional Formating select Formula Is and type the formula
=countif(A:A,A1)1
2. Click Format button
3. Go to Patterns tab, select a colour (say Red)
4. Click Ok
5. Copy A1 and select the whole column
6. Right click your mouse button, select Paste Special, select formats
You will find the duplicate values in Red colour
You can repeat this for each of your columns
Hope this works fine with you
