Perfect, thank you.

FYI - I'm not Chip

There is all kinds of information on Chip's site about dealing with duplicates
Since you appear to want a formula, put this in B2 and copy it down

=if(A1=A2,"Duplicate","Different")

Hi Chip, thanks for your post. I reviewed your website and downloaded the
workbook but I did not find a solution to my problem, am I missing something?

Hello, I've got an Excel spreadsheet with a single column. The cells
contain a date & time (m/d/yyyy h:mm:ss). I'd like to compare the value in
cell A2 to A1, then A3 to A2, A4 to A3, etc. to determine if it's a
"duplicate" or "different".

Can you help?

THANK YOU
