Thank you for the suggestion. I downloaded ASAP Utilities and it is,
indeed, loaded with interesting and useful functionalities to leverage
Excel. Unfortunately, I found that it has only a "count duplicates"
function wherein it identifies duplicates, paints them green and then,
chokes on my typical dedupe cell which has 100-200+ characters in many
instances.

So I am back to looking for some help with the EXACT function to do this
job.
