Double Entries in Excel
 
I have Office XP. I am working with Excel How can I check if I didn't enter
something twice? I found that I entered many rows twice. It would take me at
least an hour to go through the whole file.

A quick way:

Assuming unique entries are in column A, in a helper column input
=COUNTIF(A:A,A1)
and copy down.
Now use a filter (Data-Filter-Autofilter) to find anything greater than 1.
These indicate where you have duplication.
