Possibly look at the techniques outlined at Chip Pearson's site:

Or try using Conditional Formatting:
If oyur dates were entered in column A, then select column A and open Conditional Formatting from the Format menu. with 'Formula Is' in the Conditional Format box, enter: "=IF(COUNTIF(A:A,A1)1,TRUE,FALSE)" and change the format to yellow, or whatever. Now whenever you enter a date, it will change colour if it already exists. |
