You mean like duplicate entries in a column?

You may want to look at Chip Pearson's site. He has lots of techniques to work
with duplicates:

Typically, you use Countif. If data is entered in a1, and you don't want it
to be a duplicate of anything in column B, use:

=if(countif(b:b,a1)0,"Duplicate","OK")

Fred.
