Post by: Dr.Lecter on April 13, 2018, 07:26:09 AM
Hello,  :D

This is reason why i create topic!!! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3292271.msg34349045#msg34349045)

for example, i have some Duplicate Values in a spreadsheet like this:

So, how to find Duplicate Values?

1. Select your data => Click Format > Conditional formatting

2. From the:

- "Format cells if..." dropdown menu select "Custom formula is:", and write:


Code:
=countif(A:A,A1)>1

- "Formatting style": choose the color you want. ( i choose red background)

=>> "Done"

Now you have a result (red is the Duplicate Values) :

"aralzain17" vs "aralzajn17"

---------------------------------------

If you have a big data in spreadsheet:

install add-on "Sort by color" :

after finish, Choose column which you want to find Duplicate Values ( i choose column B to check profile link) ). Click to Add-ons => sort by color => sort by cell color.

you got the Duplicate Values on Top or Bottom:
