Duplicates and unique values
hi,
I have the data as follow: Month Employee IC Department Jan Tom 123 HR Feb Tom 123 HR Mar Tom 123 IT Expected result: Same department but different month is a duplicate. Same person but NEW department is NOT a duplicate. Month Employee IC Department Duplicates (marked with 'x') Jan Tom 123 HR Feb Tom 123 HR x Mar Tom 123 IT To check for duplicates, I did... =IF(COUNTIF(C$2:C20,C20)1,"x","") where column C is the unique IC number. How do i make sure that my guy in a new department is not treated as a duplicate because the current function will result in all but only one to be duplicates. |
