I need to check for duplicate names in a column. Is there a way to do this?
M Manish Bajpai Aug 10, 2005 #2 Copy that column into a new worksheet...I don't want you to mess up your exisiting sheet. Then, simply create a Pivot with the data of that single column. You will have to fist take it on rows and thewn again drag into data box as Count. That's it. Thanks, Manish Bajpai
