Vlookup
Afternoon...
In have two spreadsheets where i have a number of duplicated information. My objective is to eliminate this duplication that i have. I need to know is there any way that excel will be able to pickup if there is duplication, by running a vlookup or something? For me to actually go threw both spreadsheets to run a cross reference will be to time consuming, is there an alternative? Please i need assistance |

Vlookup
vlookups will work,
if the data is in column A in both sheets insert a new column B in sheet1 and in B1 enter =if(iserror(vlookup(A1,Sheet2!A:A,0,0),"",1) and copy down or if all you want to do is identify duplicates use conditional format. with a similar equation countif will also work =countif(Sheet2!A:A,A1) "Ebrahim" wrote: Afternoon...
