RE: Duplicated information

Hi Lillian

Thank you for using our forum

Have you tried using conditional formatting? It won't mark it with the word match but it will mark all duplicate entries a certain colour making it easier to identify.

Another method you could use is sorting the data by Column D and in Column E use an IF statement to check if it's a duplicate and if it is to add the word match

=IF(A8=A9,"Match","")

Though this option would only work if you kept the data sorted

Hope this helps

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Switching Between Spreadsheets

As the Alt+Tab key switches between loaded applications or files, Ctrl+Tab switches between loaded or open Excel files. Hold down the Ctrl key until you have tabbed to the correct spreadsheet.
