In column C, or another available column, put a formula like this in the
first row with values in A to be examined, then fill the formula on down the
sheet to the end of the list:
=IF(COUNTIF(A$1:A$7,A1)>1,"Duplicated","")
Change A$1:A$7 to include your whole range in column a, as perhaps A$2:A$1504
If you can put that in column C, and if there are entries all the way down
the sheet in column B, then you can quickly fill it by moving the cursor to
the lower right corner of the cell with the formula in it until it becomes a
thick + symbol instead of the normal fat cross, then double-click the left
mouse button to fill it all the way to the end.

Thank you so much JLATHAM, you rock! This helped a lot. FYI, the formula as
written shows "duplicated" if the line above it is a duplicate, so if the
duplicate records are not consecutive it would not work. I changed the "A1"
reference to "A2" so that it would display "duplicated" only if that
particular line was a duplicate record!

I want to find duplicates, but they are student names so I need to include 2
columns in the formula. ie first name in column b, last name in colum c.
How can I incorporate two colums? Please reply to marshasilva@ymail.com
Thanks for your help.

In column D enter
=B1 & " " & C1
Double-click the fill handle to increment down D
Use the countif formula in column E by changing cellrefs to column D

Hello. I am trying to identify duplicates in column A and compared to column
B. The data starts with a text letter, i.e. A1234. How do I search these two
rows to see if there are any duplicates?

You could use this formula in column C to see if the value in column A of that
row matches any value in column B:
=countif(b:b,a1)>0
(if you see true, then you have a duplicate)
And same kind of thing in column D:
=countif(a:a,b1)>0
to see if B1 shows up in column A.

I am looking at two columns to see if there are duplicates. The catch is I
need them to be in the same row. Example.
1 A SA TRUE
1 B DR
2 B DR
1 A SA TRU
I cannot figure out how to write a formula for this.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm working with over 5,000 lines, so I wanted a simpler fix.
Found it here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/213355
I've never used a Macro before, but found it was easy to do by following
these steps taken from Excel help:
1. On the Tools menu in Microsoft Excel, point to Macro, and then click
Visual Basic Editor.
2. On the Insert menu, click Module.
3. Type or copy your code into the code window of the module.
4. In the module window, press F5. (Before pressing F5 be sure you've
selected the first line of the column you want to check for duplicates--in
Excel.)
(Copy and paste the following Macro into Visual Basic, and press F5.)
Sub FindDups ()
'
' NOTE: You must select the first cell in the column and
' make sure that the column is sorted before running this macro
'
ScreenUpdating = False
FirstItem = ActiveCell.Value
SecondItem = ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value
Offsetcount = 1
Do While ActiveCell <> ""
If FirstItem = SecondItem Then
ActiveCell.Offset(Offsetcount,0).Interior.Color = RGB(255,0,0)
Offsetcount = Offsetcount + 1
SecondItem = ActiveCell.Offset(Offsetcount, 0).Value
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(Offsetcount, 0).Select
FirstItem = ActiveCell.Value
SecondItem = ActiveCell.Offset(1,0).Value
Offsetcount = 1
End If
Loop
ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
F5 runs the macro script, and your duplicate lines should be marked in red.
Good Luck!

Dear WisconsinGreg:
I was able to get the duplicates marked in red (how cool), now how can i
