Duplicate Value

davidharley

Hi, has anyone found a simple solution to find duplicate values? All I've seen are massively complicated code. My current solution is to do my work and then export it to excel to look for duplicate values. I've seen posts about this that are 6 or 7 years old. Surely smartsheet can include this function?

Hi @davidharley

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this in a Checkbox or Flag type column.

=IF(COUNTIF(ColumnName:ColumnName, ColumnName@row) > 1, 1)

Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic day!

I am hoping a more simple solution than the above can be found. It is an easier solution in Excel. Maybe one of the future tweaks?
