Default Identify numbers that only occur once in a column.

I have numerous lists of about 2500 numbers each where most occure twice, but
some only occure once and these are the ones that I want to work with. Any
suggestion as to how I can do this in a simple manner?

One thought - try autofiltering on a helper col
Assume data in A2 down
Put in B2: =COUNTIF(A:A,A2)
Copy down. Put a label in B1. Then do a datafilterautofilter on col B,
choose: 1, to filter out the required lines. You can copy the filtered lines
and paste it elsewhere.

Try this

suppose u have data in col A use this formula in B1
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$2500,$A$1:$A$2500) and drag it ....

and then use filter to check which has 1 time.

Hi,

Suppose your range is in A1:A30 (A1 has a heading, say Marks). In cell A33,
type Criteria. In Cell A34, type the following formula
=countif(range,A2)=1. Now click on any blank cell and Go to Filter
Advanced Filter. The fields to be filled in Filter . Advanced Filter should
be self explanatory.

If your numbers are, say, in column F, then
=COUNTIF(F:F,F1)=1
returns true for the ones occuring once. you can use it either in e helper
column or as a conditional formatting formula depending on the way you want
to identify them.

Stefi
