Duplicate Rows

[stylencia18]

Good afternoon:

I have 10,000 rows of data and I want to search for duplicate rows but I don't know how to. I do NOT want to delete duplicates, just highlight them.

Sample spreadsheet:



[TABLE="width: 1"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 777, bgcolor: transparent"]
[TABLE="width: 581"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 83, bgcolor: transparent"]Date
[/TD]
[TD="width: 105, bgcolor: transparent"]Claim Number
[/TD]
[TD="width: 94, bgcolor: transparent"]Patient Name
[/TD]
[TD="width: 91, bgcolor: transparent"]Code
[/TD]
[TD="width: 121, bgcolor: transparent"]Patient ID Number
[/TD]
[TD="width: 124, bgcolor: transparent"]Date Bill Submitted
[/TD]
[TD="width: 82, bgcolor: transparent"]Amount Billed
[/TD]
[TD="width: 74, bgcolor: transparent"]Amount Paid
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]10/1/2014
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]156161

[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]John Doe
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]99213
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]A615651
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]10/5/2014
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]$700.00
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]$500.00
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]10/8/2015
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]165511
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]Sam Jones
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]99214
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]B625663
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]10/15/2015
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]$800.00
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]$200.00
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]10/1/2014
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]156161
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]John Doe
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]99213
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]A615651
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]10/5/2014
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]$700.00
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]$500.00
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

We can easily see that the 1^stand 3^rd rows are duplicates. How do I find duplicates in 10,000 rows of data?

In order to be a duplicate, the following column names must match exactly: Date; Code; Patient ID Number

Thank you!!![/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

You Can use Conditional Formatting to find duplicate values.

Go to Home-->Conditional Formatting-->Highlight Cell Rules-->Duplicate Values

Not a whizz with VBA so there will no doubt be a better solution other than formula.
My quick workaround (since its based on 3 columns) assuming your table starts in cell A1; would be introduce a new column and use the formula in cell H2

=CONCATENATE(A2,D2,E2)

Then paste it down, and use what was suggested by ganeshpoojary05, you can also then filter by colours or even remove duplicates based on cell column H.

Again, there will be a much quicker way that the VBA gurus will know.
