Using Chip's website for an example of using arrays, which I THINK, is what
you're trying to do...
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/duplic...CountingUnique
"Testing For Duplicate Entries

If you need to determine whether a list in Excel has duplicate entries, you
can use the following formula. It will display "Duplicates" if the list in
Range1 has duplicate entries, or "No Duplicates" if the range does not have
any duplicates.

=IF(MAX(COUNTIF(Range1,Range1))1,"Duplicates","No Duplicates")

This is an array formula, so you must press Ctrl+Shift+Enter rather than
just Enter when you first enter the formula, and when ever you edit it later.
This formula requires that the complete range contain data. If only the
first N cells contain data, and the rest are empty, the formula will return
"Duplicates" because it considers the empty cells to be duplicates of
themselves."

HTH,
