Finding duplicates in multiple worksheets

Would you please let me know how to highlight duplicates across multiple worksheets? I have 10+ worksheets and am looking for duplicates in a specific column. Is this possible without having to copy all the info into a single worksheet

RE: Finding duplicates in multiple worksheets

Hi Laura,

Thank you for the forum question.

You have several options in Excel to do what you want.

You can highlight duplicates by using Conditional Formatting. You can use the Countif function and the Vlookup.

I have found some videos on Youtube (see links below). I think that the first one is the best example for what you need.

RE: Finding duplicates in multiple worksheets

Hello Laura,

Thank you for your question. There are no instant simple ways of showing duplicates across many sheets. Copy and paste and then conditional formatting might be the simplest way of doing this.

We will keep looking for a better solution and let you know as soon as we've found alternatives.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Shortcut keys to move between sheets

Ctrl + Page Down - Switch to the next worksheet (to the right)

Ctrl + Page Up - Switch to the previous worksheet (to the left)
