To find any duplicates in the name

[sumaiyakhatun24]

To illustrate how to use the functionCountif to find duplicates in Excel, we will use the example spreadsheet above, which contains a list of names in column A.

list, we have included a function Countif in column B of the spreadsheet to show the number of occurrences of each name. The function Countif is used in cell B2 , as shown in the formula bar.:=COUNTIF( A:A, A2 )

This function counts the number of occurrences of the value in cell A2 (named "Adam SMITH") within column A of the spreadsheet.

When the function Countif is copied to column B of the spreadsheet, it will count the lebanon rcs data number of occurrences of the names in cells A3, A4, etc.

You can see that the function Countif returns the value 1 for most rows, indicating that there is only one occurrence of the names in cells A2, A3, etc. However, when it comes to the name "John ROTH", (which is present in cells A3 and A8), the function returns the value 2, indicating that there are two occurrences of this name.
