If column A contains your data, and is sorted so that duplicates are
displayed together, then in B2 put this formula and copy down........... =IF(A2=A1,"Duplicate","") Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "julz" wrote in message ... good evening, i'm needing to tag duplicate entries in a single column. the entries were downloaded from access. i'm using the following formula, but keep returning #NAME?. please advise. =IF(COUNTIF(Range1,A1)1,"Duplicate","") |

Works perfect! One more question. If I try to sort on column "b" to bring
all the duplicates to the top, that will obviously mess up the formula, so, can I use another formula to list all the duplicates in say column "c"?

Before you sort, highlight the entire column B and do copy PasteSpecial
Values right back on the same column............this will freeze the values in column B and eliminate the formulas.........then go ahead and sort.........
