    Find Duplicate rows

    Hey guys I have kind of an easy one, but i really can't figure out how to make a forumla work for this

    Basically i have data with two columns with header rows First Name, Last Name. It is a long list of customers which I am trying to find duplicates.

    I basically need a simple formula that i can drop into C2 that will check for duplicate rows and display "Duplicate" or "No Duplicate" and that i can fill down

    Any help with this will be greatly appreciated, as there is over 5000 customers on this list, and manual scanning will be quite a daunting task

    Re: Find Duplicate rows

    Hi,

    If you're wanting to check duplicates based on both the first and last names you'll need to first create a helper column C which concatenates the first and last names. i.e. in C2 (and copied down) enter
    =A2&B2

    Now in D2, and copied down enter:

    =IF(COUNTIF($C$2:$C$5000,C2)>1,"Duplicate","No Duplicate")

    Regards
