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)

Both the column of cells being populated and the column the…
Hello Community, I need to create a report that shows capacity by month. My sheet tracks resource allocation on projects with resource start and end dates. (We can't afford the Resource Management module so we're doing it in Core SS). I've been asked to do a "heat map" of sorts where each column is a month. For each row…
