How do I identify duplicates (in one column relative to another)?

SITUATION: I have a column of account names (text) with approximately 3000 rows. I
would like to compare column with another column, and identify (i.e. flag) those account
names that exist in both columns (duplicates).

QUESTION: How do I get Excel to identify (preferably by highlighting) those entries that are listed in BOTH column
#1 AND column #2?

NOTE: The columns do not share the same case (Column #1 is a mixture of small-caps and large-caps, while Column
#2 is all capital letters) - does this matter?

1. Select column B (click the letter B)

2. Choose Format > Conditional formatting
3. In ""Condition 1"" choose ""Formula is""
4. Enter this formula =(COUNTIF($A:$A,B1)=0)*(B1<>"")
5. Click the ""Formats"" button and take your pick. OK.OK

=(COUNTIF($A:$A,B1)=0)*(B1<>"")

Will show all the values that are not common in color, NOTE you will have to choose a
color in FORMAT part before clicking OK

The values that will not be colored in the column A are the values which are common in
the column B
Shade Alternate Rows

1. It is like the same as above just have to have the formula

=MOD(ROW(),2)=0

The above formula will be put in the select row and column using the format
Conditional Formatting  Formula is =(mod(row(),2)=0

Also you have to click on format button to select the pattern of color you want in the
alternative rows.

HOW TO GET ONE DATA FROM ONE SHEET TO ANOTHER

=sheet2!B3

In the above, Currently I am in sheet1 and then the above will give me the output of
sheet2 column B of the row 3.

=SUM (Sheet1!A3:A7)

In the above the data in sheet 1 having column from A3 to A7 will be added and can be
put at any other sheet , so that the total sum will be the output.

Get today’s Date

=TODAY()
or
=now()
To insert Fixed Date into a cell

-- a date that you do not want to change –

Hold down Ctrl while you press the semicolon ( ; ) key  today’s date

To insert the current time (without the date ) press Ctrl-Shift-Semicolon. timestamp

Do not print

Use the hide and unhide to not allow the print of the particular column or row for that
particular print given.

Add a Drop down List

1. Select the cell in which you want to have a drop down list
2. go to Data  Validation  Setting
3. In validation Criteria select LIST
4. Now in source write the list of data that you want to have in Drop down list
Separated with a comma e.g. Jan,Feb,March,April and press ok.
Add form to the excel sheet

Views  Toolbars  Forms

Now the tool bar for forms will appear

To add any button just click on the button and draw it

In the above first I had created 3 Option Button for 30 – 33 – 50 , all these value are been
determined by D5 (where you are seeing the number 3).
Just right click on the option button and then click on FORMATE
CONTROL and then click the radio button of VALUE as checked ( this determine that
when ever it is checked the cell will be linked to …) .Also put a cell value over here in
this e.g I have as D5 so the value’s for the option button will be kept over here in D5.
Now in G7 have written a formula = CHOOSE(D5,20,21,35) .This values
are taken as we select the Option Button. In the above since we have select the 3rd option
value 50 so D5 has a value 3 and the chosen value in G7 become 35 (since 3rd value is
been select ).

The same goes for the check box if check box is check when the value in format control
is check and linked to a row , then it while give a result as TRUE or FALSE (is not
checked).
