Duplicate Finder problem

**holmwood** · 12-27-2013, 05:43 AM

Hi,

I have this formula that finds duplicates in an array: =IF(MAX(COUNTIF(BZ2:BZ$501,BZ2:BZ$501))>1,"Duplicate","Unique")

However, this formula will flag the last duplicate entry as the Unique entry, and the earlier entries (higher up the array) as the duplicates.

Is there a formula that would flag the first duplicate entry as Unique, and the subsequent entries (lower down the array) as the duplicates?

Many thanks,

Chris
