    Question Finding duplicates between six rows

    Hi, I have the following data:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    I AM looking for a way which could find the exact duplicates between six rows of given data and also displays the column number where the first duplicate has occurred the second time .
    The desired solution starting from G1 until M1 should be as follows:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    As "10,12,16,28,30,32" and "16,16,20,20,10,10" have occurred more than once in the above data, an appropriate formula should be applied so that they are the only ones to be displayed at "G1,H1,I1,J1,K1,L1"&"G2,H2,I2,J2,K2,L1". Also at M1,"6" is expected because "10,12,16,28,30,32" have occurred secondly at column number 6.

    Any kind of help towards solving this problem would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Re: Finding duplicates between six rows

    OK...Let's try this again. Not sure if the forum editor misread a formula or if I had a hardware problem (a loose nut in front of my keyboard)

    Note: These are all regular formulas...NOT array-formulas.
    Using your posted workbook, I used helper columns to keep the formulas understandable.
    These formulas, copied down, set up the items to be counted:

    Concatenate the values

    Identify duplicates

    This formula, copied across and down through L11, fills in the duplicate records

    And this formula, copied down, returns the row number of the duplicate

    Is that something you can work with?

    Ah yes. Very clever with the powers of 10 approach.
