A company can have multiple expired orders but only one active order.
The purpose is to identify the company with multiple active orders and
fix it manually.

Thanks in advance.

why not just try autofilter?

This is a large database. If I use the autofilter, I have to look at
each company name to ensure that there is only one active order.

Thanks

In column C

=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:L$A$20=A1),--($B$1:$B$20="Active")),"Dup","")

=IF(SUMPRODUCT(-($B$8:$B$1000=B610),-($D$8:$D$1000="Active")),"Dup","")

does not work

It assigns "dup" to every order, except those companys that have no
active orders.

I don't like adding columns, but if col c =A&B then you could use conditional
formatiing to look for where Colum B="active" and then count how many times
the current cell value is in column c, & colour it.
Use this conditional formatting formula in C1

=IF(B1="active",IF(COUNTIF(C:C,C1)1,1,0),0) this will cause the cell to
conditionally format where a company has more than one active order.

Sorry, I meant that the count should be counted as greater thajn 1

=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:L$A$20=$A1),--($B$1:$B$20="Active"))1,"Dup","")

If you just want to highlight the 2nd (and 3rd etc.) instance, then use

=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:$A1=$A1),--($B$1:$B1="Active"))1,"Dup","")
