Jason,

Any thoughts on whether a similar method could be used to locate duplicate
records in an Excel database? And if possible, is there any way then to sort
based on the records conditionally formatted (to delete them)?

E.G. 8500 single row records of Name, Addr, City, St, Zip, etc of which one
or more are duplicates. The objective: highlight and sort out the
duplicates.

Thanks,
Kem

Click the Format radio button and format as desired.
