duplicate check
Hi I am making a spreadsheet where I am inputting a large list of different numbers - I want to put a check in to make sure no number is input more than once. What would be the easiest way to do this? (ideally a column to the right of the number could be used to flag up where there is a duplicate number) Thanks -- rufusf |
duplicate check
Try this in that 'helper' column to the "right" that you mentioned:
=IF(AND(A1,COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)1),"Duplicate","") And copy down as needed. -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "rufusf" wrote in message ...

Don't know why I put the "AND" in there!
Try this: =IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)1,"Duplicate","") -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "RagDyeR" wrote in message ...
