This is my first post. I have a bunch of cases that are numbered that
I've dumped into a spreadsheet. I need to find out how many duplicates
there are, for instance a case might be labeled REF242 and there will be
2 of those ect. I need to know which one's are duplicates so I can
subtract the dollar amount associated with the repeats. Does anyone
know how to do this in excel?
Thanks,

View this thread: www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=521607Take a look at Chip's site on duplicates.

www.cpearson.com/excel/duplicat.htm

Pretty much covers most situations I believe. Still having trouble...? Post
back.

you can identify the duplicates by a formula. Suppose your list is in
A1:A100. In B1 enter =IF(COUNTIF(A$1:A$100,A1)gt;1,quot;Dupquot;,quot;quot;) and fill down to
B100.quot;Capytanredquot; gt; wrote
