One word: Autofilter. To learn what it is and how to use
it, take a look at Debra Dalgleish's site:

Your subject line is truncated so can't see past "check for"

Assuming you mean duplicates.......

Select range then DataFilterAdvanced Filtercheck "unique records only" and
"copy to another location".
