Default Checking for Duplicates within a Workbook

Hi Thanks for this. However it always show that there are duplicates as the
consolidation displays zeros??

Anyway to omit the zeros in the formula?

Hi,

Unfortunately, Excel cannot lookup in a thee dimensional array. What you
can do here is use the Data Consolidate Function. In a separate sheet,
while you are in cell A1, go to Data Consolidate and in the reference box,
give the range in sheet 1 and click on Add. Repeat this process of adding
the range from the nine other worksheets as well. After all the 10
worksheets are added, check the box for 'Create Links to Source Data" and in
the function drop down, select "Count". Once you click on OK, (from all the
sheets) will come in this sheet. Now you can use your function.

Hi, I am using the following array formula to check for duplicates within
a
worksheet.

{=IF(MAX(COUNTIF('Daniel S'!A4:A1000,A4:A1000))1,"Duplicate","No
Duplicates")}

Is there a way that I can extend this so that it checks the same range
across 10 worksheets within a workbook.

Thanks
