1> Enter the formula : =A1&B1 to cell C1 and copy / paste the formula to cells C2:C12
2> Enter the formula : =IF(COUNTIF($C$1:C1,C1)>1,"Duplicate","Unique")
to cell E1 and copy / paste the formula to cells E2:E12
** (you can use the second formula directly if you have only a single column : Like
Column A
--------------
Column A BBB CCC AAA BBB CCC AAA BBB CCC AAA <> </> BBB CCC Insert this Formula in Column B : =IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1>1),"Duplicate","Unique")
and you are done ..

ReplyDeleteit do works buddy .... m using this formula for 2 years ..... to find duplicates ...
ReplyDeletethere may be prob if u are putting this formula in csv file ... so for that first the column in which u want to find the duplicates convert that column from text to column ... and then apply the formula ...
