Can anyone tell me the easiest way to identify and isolate duplicate records
found in a spreadsheet column?

First sort your records

Insert an additional column

In the blank column add this formual.


=(b1=b2) Then paste to the end of the data.


This will match the top line of the data to the next line of the data.
If it is not a duplicate it the formula will return "false". If it is
a duplicate the formula will return "True"

Get Rid of all of the "Trues"

This will take care of your issue.
