Default Finding Duplicate Entries

Please clarify your example. You say that John Smith & Sean Mann share 2
classes, but that Julie Jones doesn't, and yet Julie Jones is in 84744.4 (as
are John & Sean). Why is Julie Jones excluded from the "shares 84744.4 with
John & Sean" list?

Hi,

I need to find duplicate data from the data table below.

There are 2 columns : one consists of students and the other is an
individual class number. The class number could have 3 or 30 students but it
is UNIQUE.

What I wish to do is to be able to find students in a particular class and
cross reference this to see if there are one or more students that share
subsequent classes.

In the Below example : John Smith and Sean Mann share classes in 84749.2 &
84744.4.

Julie Jones has 2 classes but doesnt share with anyone.

Is there a way to single out all the entries of those that share classes?

Thanks

Elliot
