I will assume the text is in column A
A1 cannot be a duplicate - there is nothing above it In A2 enter =IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A2),"Duplicate","") Copy this down the column (double click its fill handle) All duplicates (text that appears for the second or subsequent time) will show with Duplicate in B best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "scoldiron" wrote in message ...
