Can excel Flag repeat entries?
 

This is my first post. I have a bunch of cases that are numbered that
I've dumped into a spreadsheet. I need to find out how many duplicates
there are, for instance a case might be labeled REF242 and there will be
2 of those ect. I need to know which one's are duplicates so I can
subtract the dollar amount associated with the repeats. Does anyone
know how to do this in excel?
Thanks,
KB

Take a look at Chip's site on duplicates.

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/duplicat.htm

Pretty much covers most situations I believe. Still having trouble...? Post
back.

you can identify the duplicates by a formula. Suppose your list is in
A1:A100. In B1 enter =IF(COUNTIF(A$1:A$100,A1)1,"Dup","") and fill down to
B100.
