Default Formula for finding matching numbers


Pete,
Me again. As I'm sitting here thinking about this and playing with the
numbers and formula it's all making more sense. when you say unique list on
separate sheet if I was to take all the numbers for the 3 months and put
them in one column on a different sheet is there a way I can tell it to only
list the number once? to remove all duplicates for my unique list?
Thanks again so much.

Debra Dalgleish shows how you can compile a unique list of phone numbers
using Advanced Filter he

'Excel Filters -- Advanced Filter'
(http://www.contextures.com/xladvfilter01.html)

It is better to put your unique list in column A of a separate sheet,
then in column B (B2) you can have a formula like this:

=COUNTIF(Sheet1!A:A,A2)

assuming your phone numbers are in column A of the first sheet. Just
copy this down to get a count for each of the phone numbers dialled.

Hope this helps.

Pete

I'm not sure what to do.
