What command can I use to see if any cells equal the same.
I'm updating 2000 records and trying to make sure I don't
duplicateinformation. Is there a way I can use a command that will tell me if any of the cells in this row equal the same thing, then 'Yes"? |

This formula should work for you:
=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$2000,A1)1,"Yes","") You can place this in an adjacent column, then copy down. Another option would be to use Conditional Formatting to highlight any rows containing duplicates. Select your column of data, then choose Conditional Formatting from the Format Menu. Change "Cell Value Is" to "Formula Is" and enter: =COUNTIF($A$1:$A$2000,A1)1 Then set your format.
