Locate Duplicates
You have a few options....
I like this one.
This method ignores the first occurrence of a value and displays the
duplicates.
With your list is in A10:A100, with A10 as the Heading: MyCol_A
C1: DupeTest (or blank or any text that is NOT a data column heading)
C2: =COUNTIF(A$10:A11,A11)1
(Note the dollar sign and that the formula only goes from the heading to
next cell down)
D1: MyCol_A (the same col heading as A1)
But, only if you want the list coped to another location. Otherwise, skip
that step.
<Data<Filter<Advanced Filter
List Range: (select $A$10:$A$100)
Criteria Range: $C$1:$C$2
Click the [OK] button to filter the list in place.
OR
To copy the duplicates to another area:
Check: Copy to another location
Copy to: D1 (which contains the col heading NumVal)
Check: Unique Records
Click the [OK] button
Any displayed values are the duplicates.
Is that something you can work with?
