Finding a duplicate in a column

Tzippy

I have a "name" column and a "HRC code" column and want to find duplicates in each column.

The following formula works just fine for the name column but it wont work for the HRC Code column I believe bc the name of the column has a space. Is there a workaround or do I have to rename the column? (I prefer not)

IF(COUNTIF(Name:Name, Name@row) > 1, "Yes", "No"))

Hi @Tzippy

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IF([HRC code]@row <> "", IF(COUNTIF([HRC code]:[HRC code], [HRC code]@row) > 1, "Yes", "No"))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Cool! That worked!

Can you please explain to me the logic for future reference because I'm a little confused?

Thanks so much!
