Duplicate Entries
Hi, I've searched previous posts as I know I saw the answer but can't find
it now and forgot to print it last time. I'm inputting a number of part numbers (600 of them) in column A and need to identify duplicates as I enter them (on the fly). Conditional formatting? What I'd like is if I input a previously entered part number, any and all occurrences of previous entries of that part number to highlight so I stop double entries. Please, not a macro as I'm not into macros yet. I'm using Excel 2010 and also need the solution to also work on my other machine using the 2007 version. TIA. |

Step2: Open the CF dialog and enter the following formula: =COUNTIF($A:$A,$A1)1 Step3: Set formatting to use shading OR bold, red font This will flag the dupe AND its original entry. -- Garry Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc |
