And in my example, I just go through the first column to compare whether the value are duplicated.

Users forget and add the same data on two different days in the same sheet plus enter the same data then again in worksheet B. Makes my life hell as I need to compare 6 user sheets regularly and sometimes Is there a macro or something like this, that will auto highlight if a duplicate is entered in a single worksheet? So for example if user 1 enters worksheet A and adds data to column Claim Number which has this value alreadyĮntered in column Claim number, it will auto highlight red saying this number has already been entered? I want to prevent in individual worksheets users adding duplicates.
#Microsoft excel find duplicates how to
How to highlight only one duplicate value from multiple duplicates? I saw this question in a previous question but when I downloaded the excel example I could not find anywhere the formula to copy for my purposes. Say in each sheet it is claim number column I need to compare. Just a formula I can enter and point it to all 6 sheets to auto highlight as soon as a duplicate is found entered. Can someone tell me the formula or VLook up or function in order to do this quickly across so many sheets? I am hoping this can be done withoutĬreating more columns as these are working lists. I just want any duplicate in the columns in question to auto highlight so I know there is a duplicate. I need to do a risk analysis so want to compare the data of one column ofĮach sheet.
