You have two options:
You can use a countif in C2. That would be =COUNTIF(A:A,B2) THis assumes your first column in A, the second is B and you would countif in C. The other option is a VLOOKUP. Either way, you will be able to flag the duplicates. -- Regards, PJ Please rate this post using the vote buttons if it was helpful.

comparing columns to find dup's
this is what i am using:
=COUNTIF(B:E,G2) but column B & E have some repeating last names. how do i incorporate the formula to go off of ab / de. this would catch the full name & be able to find all the dup's. column a & d being the first name & b & e being the last name. thx !
