Conditional Formating

Hi,

I have a spreadsheet relating to students behaviour for the whole school. I would like to show duplicate incidents as staff think they have doubled up and want to delete the duplicates.

I have tried Conditional Formating - Highlight duplicates, but this isn't very helpful, it either highlights the whole sheet, or nothing at all.

the columns are: student name, registration group, incident type, date, staff member involved.

does anyone have any ideas of what is the best way to show duplicates.

thanks

RE: Conditional Formating

Hi Lorna,

Thank you for your question.

Have you tried the Remove Duplicates option in Excel 2007?

If not go to the Data tab, Data Tools group and select the Remove Duplicates option. Tick the boxes that may contain duplication, click OK and this will automatically delete any duplicates.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Selecting blank cells within a range of data

Select the range of data which includes the blank cells that you would like to select. Press the F5 key, this will take you to the GoTo dialogue box where you can click on Special and then select Blanks.
