Excel - Filter Duplicate entries on Excel .

Expert: Jan Karel Pieterse - 10/6/2009

Question
I would like to filter or highlight duplicate name and address details on some Excel spread sheets without using code of any kind. Is this possible, if not what is the easiest way to get this done. Im very new to using Excel so this has to be an Idiots guide.

Thanks very much

Answer
Hi,

One way:

- select table
- Data, filter, advanced filter
- Select filter in place
- check "Unique records only"
- OK
- Now choose a fill color for all filtered rows (or change font color)
- select Data, Filter, Show All

Your duplicates will not be highlighted.
