How do i create a formula that shows there are duplicates.
I would like it to have a check box in a column showing that "Sarah Jensen" has duplicate expense submission based off Consultant Name, Date of Receipt,Total Expense.

You could skip the helper column and just include the additional column criteria in a COUNTIFS instead of a COUNTIF.
.
=COUNTIFS([Consultant Name]:[Consultant Name], [Consultant Name]@row, [Date of Receipt]:[Date of Receipt], [Date of Receipt]@row, [Total Expense]:[Total Expense], [Total Expense]@row)
This will count how many rows have the same data in those 3 columns as the row the formula is currently sitting on. In your screenshot, going down the rows it would populate
2
1
We can then leverage that result in an IF statement to check your box if there are any rows that have a number higher than 1 meaning there is more than one row with matching data.
=IF(COUNTIFS(..........) > 1, 1, 0)
So the finalized formula in the checkbox column would look something like this...
=IF(COUNTIFS([Consultant Name]:[Consultant Name], [Consultant Name]@row, [Date of Receipt]:[Date of Receipt], [Date of Receipt]@row, [Total Expense]:[Total Expense], [Total Expense]@row) > 1, 1, 0)

In the above image the green is the parent line, where some are calculating the child line %'s below, however in the lower half of the image it's not doing so. Any suggestions please? Thanks!
I have a sheet where I query 14 other sheets to collect all sorts of data (unique values from sheet into a column) and in another column I use an Index distinct collect to get all the unique value from those 14 columns, this is the 'Index' column. At some point a user will want to generate a certificate associted with the…
