i have duplicate cell entries occuring. I have a column of about 8000 entries (Column B) and would like to have a cell at the top of my spreadsheet that displays where the first duplicate resides (Row No. will suffice).
At present i have a conditional format on dupllicates, but is is a big task to scroll down through all the data looking for them.
I have many rows of data. How can I find duplicate cells in a column?

I am trying to collect data from a server. The data comes through as .csv (seperated data), and I am able to get all the useless info/columns out of the way - but I would like to keep a record of how many times these "alarms" come in. form a spreadsheet, or tell me how to go abouts using a tool to simplify my process.

What I want is to only show duplicates, else "". One way is to sort column then use =exact function and deterimine true/false. however is there an easier way, hence withouth having to sort? i just want it to show only duplicate names in cell's.
I have a lengthy excel spreadsheet in which I catalog all of my Karaoke song collection. I would like to be able to automatically locate (not delete) cells in which there are duplicate song titles. For my purposes just finding these items quickly so I may deal with them in a manner I've already developed is all I want to do. VBA, Macro or whatever would be appreciated. I'm a relative novice with macros and VBA.
For example row 12 may have the song title "Crazy" in column C and later row 1200 may have the same song title. Manually searching the spreadsheet for dupliates is way too time consuming so I think it can be seen why I'm looking to unlock the power of excel to do this for me.
In short, I would like a pivot table to only count unique values, but when I click into the pivot I would like to show all instances of that value. For example:
I have a table of data that I am creating a pivot table from. There are fields for Customer ID, Task Name, Age, and Notes. There will be multiple records for a single Customer ID each time it has new notes.
I would like to create a pivot table that has Task Name in the Row Labels, Age in the Column Labels, and count of Customer ID in the Values, so that, for example, I can see how many accounts have been in the Design task for 2 days. However, when I do this it counts each record, but I would like it to count each unique Customer ID. Also, when I click into the pivot, instead of pulling up one line per Customer ID, I would like it to pull up each instance of Customer IDs in that Task Name/Age combination (similar to doing a DISTINCT in SQL).

The VP of our company needs me to create a spreadsheet.
For this s/s I need the following:
Imagine 2 sheets in Excel...
sheet1
sheet2
sheet2 has sequential numbers in column1 starting in row2 with the number 1 until wherever..., so cell A2 has number 1, cell A3 has number 2, etc...
Manually, a user has to fill in certain text next to a number.
This for example would look something like this:
_|A| B
-|-|-----------------------------------|
1| | Error-description
-|-|-----------------------------------|
2|1| Whatever the 1st error would be...|
-|-|-----------------------------------|
3|2| Whatever the 2nd error would be...|
-|-|-----------------------------------|
4|3| Whatever the 3rd error would be...|
-|-|-----------------------------------|
5|4|
-|-|-----------------------------------|
6|5|
-|-|-----------------------------------|
and so on...
All this would be on sheet2
In a cell on sheet1 I now need the number from column A displayed, that has the latest entry in column B.
In the example above this would have to be the number 3 in cell A4, because right next to it (in cell B4) is the last entry "Whatever the third error would be..."
Addition: There are several sheets, each sheet stands for one error listed on sheet1 in column A
sheet1 for example would look like this:
_|____A____|_B_|_C_|_D_|
-|---------|---|---|---|
1|_________|833|933|934|
-|---------|---|---|---|
2| error 1 |___|___|___|
-|---------|---|---|---|
3| error 2 |___|___|___|
-|---------|---|---|---|
4| error 3 |___|___| 3 |
-|---------|---|---|---|
In this example, because "whatever error" (cell B2 to B4 on sheet2) was found on press 934 was the 3rd error (cell A4), the number 3 (cell A4) would have to be populated on sheet1 in cell D4.
I have this macro when run copys and pastes values for a row of cells onto another sheet. However if 2 cells in the same row have a number greater than zero. It duplicates the entry. What I need is some sort of check that says if 2 or more cells in the same row have a number greater than zero just copy that row once only.

I have a workbook that I want to find if I have any duplicate numbers in a specific area.
The area of cells that I am checking is C3 through AO70
I am checking for numbers between 95 and 800. These are all ID# of individuals and not all the numbers between 95 and 800 are used. IE: 97 through 100 are not used ect.
I have already written a macro that does something else and I can use it to check each number as it comes up. However, once the number comes up I don't know how to use it to check the area.
If I can check all the area at one time to find duplicates it would be easier.
I do not know how to do either way but I can adapt my macro to whatever way is possible.

I am having trouble using a cell reference with a VLOOKUP formula. i have 2 worksheets each containing an invoice number column. the first sheet uses the VLOOKUP to find a shipping code from a range of values in the 2nd sheet (the range includes the invoice number, shipping code and 2 other columns). i can get the formula to work by simply typing the lookup_value into the formula like so: =VLOOKUP(7128,'Detailed List'!$B$7:$Q$1500,5,TRUE)
this gives me the correct result but what i need to happen is for the formula to take the lookup_value from the invoice number cell reference in the first sheet for that record and match it to the same value in the 2nd sheet. so instead of the code above it would read: =VLOOKUP('F10','Detailed List'!$B$7:$Q$1500,5,TRUE). the value of cell F10 is '7128'. however, when i try this i get a return of #N/A and no matter what variation i try it still produces the same result.
I need to find the row number of a cell based on a particular value. I am populating a row within a spreadsheet with a value (the columns have unique identifiers). After that is done, I need to go to a different spreadsheet, grab different values, and place them in a different column in the above referenced spreadsheet. So, what I want to do is find the row number for the unique identifier, then place the value in the column.

Hello everyone....
I have a project where I need items for different boxes.
i have 20 boxes that need the same amount of items. However, when I came towards the end, i ran out of items.
For example
BOX A IS MISSING
ITEM 1 AND 2
BOX B IS MISSING
ITEM 2 AND 5
BOX C IS MISSING
ITEM 1 AND 5
I have all in a spreadsheet all the items that are missing per box. Here comes the main question....
How do I program my spreadsheet find the items that are missing in each box and summarize in another sheet?
The summary I am looking for is....
ITEM 1 - 5 (MISSING)
ITEM 2 - 9 (MISSING)
and so on...
I started doing the code, but I haven't got too far.
I have two lists of numbers.
The first list contains site numbers of people who havent responded to me.
The second list is the master list of site numbers along with a column showing the date they responded.
Now, a site number is built like this:
123456/0001
123456/0002
So it is possible for the same 6 digits to appear more than once in the master list.
What I need to do is to compare the first 6 digits in the non responder list against the master list, because some sites, like the example above, may have more than one '0001' tag and so if they have responded to me from site '0002' I dont want to spam their other sites with emails.
I've tried using match and various formulas I've found from google etc, but nothing seems to work!
The goal of this is to get a list of non respondents that have not responded from any of their sites listed in the master list.
Non Responses
Master List
Date of Response
203289/0001
201162/0003

I have a database with ~18000 rows and 29 columns. I would like to filter the data by duplicates in one column, based on total, but keep the remaining data in the row. For example: I have account numbers listed in one column, often duplicates. I can get the total in a pivot table no problem, but need the other data associated with that account. I do not need to see all accounts, only duplicates for accounts listed say greater than 5 times. The data in columns B+ are important.
I have a HUGE vlookup I created to paste in the pivot table data (account numbers and totals) to run a look-up based on those numbers, but I see that running into problems when you run 4k+ look-ups.
I want to see accounts listed only 5+ times, include that total (as in a pivot table) and the remaining 28 columns. I have tried to run this in a pivot table completely, but still too much data to process (plus all the subtotals that I have to keep removing).
I have over 400 thousand rows in my data-set and I'm trying to find duplicates using a countif or similar formula. Let's say I have the following:
Blue
Yellow
Green
Blue
Blue
Yellow
Pink
I need the formula to increment the count. So for example, the first time Blue appears, it equals 1, the second it appears, it equals 2, third time is 3 and so on.
And, I need it to actually work with 400 thousand rows. I have tried using the following formulas without success as Excel keeps crashing:
=IF((COUNTIF(T:T,$T2)>1),COUNTIF(T:T,$T2),"")=IF(COUNTIF(T:T,T2)>1,2,1)
That second one equals "2" if there's more than 1, which will work for me as well. Better would be if it increments though.
The purpose of having a count is so that I can pivot the data, then filter out all the "1"s and report on it. Therefore I can't use conditional formatting, or simply using Excels Remove Duplicates feature. I need the same data-set for other pivots and charts.

I can't play about with the natural order of the spreadsheet, so there's no chance I can re-sort the data into column X and (easily) identify the duplicates that way. So, it could be that the duplicated value(s) will appear in any cell within that column.
I need to identify whether the item is a duplicate in the unsorted list. Ideally, the first entry of a set of duplicates will be given 1, then the subsequent duplicates themselves given a 0 (zero). It's to subsequently do some counts on.
I guess that as long as the one of the entries in the duplicates is marked with a 1, while the others are 0 (zero), that's all that's important.
I have a roster for a large group in excel and would like to have an easy way to highlight if there are duplicate entries in the roster as we are merging multiple smaller lists together.
