Checking for double entries
Hi, I believe it can be done by first sorting by surname, then "if" formulae
to check if the same e-mail address is existing just after that. Finally u can re-sort by surname. It works, Please do write if need more clarification. thanks amit.

Dear Amit Kumar Baidyaka,
What IF formula are you talking about? Why do I need to sort by surname twice? Thanks for your time and support !

Hello Dave,
Thank you very much for your reply. This is a great work around, which I thought of myself, but I want it to be dynamical, rather than me doing all this work each time I make a change. But thanks for your effort !

Hi,
you could also use the formula =IF(COUNT.IF(A:A;A2)1;"Dupl";"ok") in a new column, A:A being the column with the Surnames. This way, you donĀ“t have to sort first.
