Ilia the formula doesn't seem to be working it returns a value of 1 for every
line when I know there are dups, and it's not scalable, so if I wanted to use
the same concept using dollars and I wanted to see everything over let's say
$23 in a pivot, I couldn't use this method. I often need to see pivot results
filtered based on some criteria (, <, =, etc) and would love to find a way
to do this fast.

The spreadsheet is rather complicated to explain in the post; is there a
place I can send it to you with a more detailed description of what I'm
trying to do? At very top level for this particular file, I have a report
listing units, each unit has 2 line items a lifetodate # and a yeartodate #,
for the LTD it's giving me one line per unique unit #, for YTD is giving me
multiples but not for every customer. Since the file is over 4000 rows when I
did the pivot, I have to scroll down several customer's which are ok to get
to the ones that are having this info duplicated so I can troubleshoot. I
just want to see those records where the YTD count is 1.

I'm using 2003 SP2.

In Excel 2007, since you can filter pivot rows by data area results,
you add the row header into a data column as a count item, then filter
everything greater than 1.

I don't know of a way to do this in Excel 2003 and earlier, without
modifying original data. You can add a column to source data to
include a count, such as:

=COUNTIF(A2,$A$2:$A$100)

And copy down. This returns the count of A2 in its column (A2:A100 in
this case, adjust references as needed) so that you can add it to the
row field, select everything except a count of 1, then drag to report
filter (page area).

Is there an easy way in pivots to exclude unique records? I only want to see
those that have a one to many relationship with all the rows of data i'm
showing.

I prefer not to filter the data source first as it is over 30K records and I
can't seem to figure out a complex enough formula to flag the record as I
need.
