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.
Hi,
Here is how I worked this request -
See the screenshot - I hope this helps?

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)
Good job Paul.

I currently have a sheet (primary data) where I have data in rows where each row is a single project, with columns identifying persons, $ values, unique project identifier,…
I have a sheet with 5000 rows and 30 columns. with 4 columns of them are formular columns. How can i reach this limit for 25000000 formular cells reference? How can i enlarge this limit? I need those formular to link some data from another sheet as there is also Max cells limit for one sheet. How can I join those data…
