Finding repeated data in adjacent cells
Hi, This is probably a very simple question, but I am fairly new to Excel and have not been able to solve it. I'd like Excel to find repeated data in adjacent cells (to see if we have accidently re-used an account number). Anyone know how this is done? Thanks in advance- -- akeene ------------------------------------------------------------------------ akeene's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36307 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=560855 |
Finding repeated data in adjacent cells
Say that the values you want to check for duplicates in is in Column A. In column B have this formula =IF(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$1000,A1)1,"DUPLICATE","") -- kraljb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kraljb's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=9955 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=560855 |

Is there an easy way to have the word DUPLICATE kicked out in Column B only where a duplicate is found in Column A? Right now it seems like the formula tells me a duplicate exists in column A, but I am hoping to be able to find the duplicates automatically. Thanks again for your help- -- akeene ------------------------------------------------------------------------ akeene's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36307 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=560855 |

Now I got it - the function has to be in each cell in column B. Thanks for the help Kraljb.
