How To Find Duplicates In Excel?

Select the range (or entire column) to check for duplicates

Go to Home → Conditional Formatting → Highlight Cells Rules → Duplicate Values

Choose a formatting style and click OK

To find duplicates with a formula: in a new column enter `=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$100,A1)>1` (adjust range and cell)

Copy the formula down the column

Filter the new column for TRUE to show only duplicate rows

To return only duplicate values: use `=FILTER(A1:A100,COUNTIF(A1:A100,A1:A100)>1)` (adjust range)

To remove duplicates: select the range → Data → Remove Duplicates → choose the column(s) → OK

To count duplicates per value: use `=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$100,A1)` in a new column

To list duplicate rows uniquely: use a PivotTable with the column as Rows and Values set to Count, then filter counts greater than 1
