I am in need of the formula or VBA code to find the duplications.

Hello Friends

I work in on the task as i need to find out the duplications with the new data from the old data.
For example If "AAAA" is in the column of old data. and the same "AAAA" would be in new data. when i compare the both i need the result in the adjacent column as "Genuine" if the new data not existed in the old column then the value should return as "need to audit"

[TABLE="width: 207"]
<colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD][TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Old[/TD]
[TD]New[/TD]
[TD]Status[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]AAAA[/TD]
[TD]AAAA[/TD]
[TD]Genuine[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]AAAB[/TD]
[TD]AAAC[/TD]
[TD]Need Audit[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
As the above table depicts. the AAAA value in New column must match with value in the Old column values. If it is matching then the status column should show as Genuine and If the AAAA value not found in the Old column the status column should show Need Audit. Please help on this.

Note: I tried the "If" function and it gave me bad result

I assume your data won't always be on the same row in old as it is in New? what you can use is the following: (it will work either way)

=IF(COUNTIF(B:B,A2)>1,"Need Audit",IF(COUNTIF(B:B,A2)>0,"Genuine","Need Audit"))

This checks if the value in Old data, appears in New Data. If it appears once, it is Genuine, if it appears twice i have set it "need audit". and ofcourse if it doesnt appear it is also "need audit"

Enter the formula in column C, it assumes old data in A, new data in B, and the data beginning in row 2.
