    Count number of duplicate records.

    Hello,

    My data is as follows:

    Column A
    1. Apple
    2. Banana
    3. Apple
    4. Orange
    5. Apple
    6. Banana
    7. Chickoo.

    I want a formula which gives result as 2 as only 2 items apple & banana is duplicated irrespective of their number of occurances.

    Thank you.
    Vivek.

    Re: Count number of duplicate records.

    =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF($A$2:$A$20<>"",MATCH($A$2:$A$20,$A$2:$A$20,0)),ROW($A$2:$A$20)-ROW($A$2)+1)>1,1))
    and enter as an array - using Control+shift+enter

    ignore blanks - hence range can be more than the data you have

    Or with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

    =SUM(IFERROR((COUNTIF(A1:A99,A1:A99)>1)/COUNTIF(A1:A99,A1:A99),))

    Thanks to all.

    Additionally, I also want to find duplicate values i.e. apple & banana in 2 cells one below the other.

    I want a formula in cell B1 to give apple & when I copy it down to B2 it should give banana as only these two are repeated items.

    Re: Count number of duplicate records.

    try in b2
    =IFERROR(INDEX(A2:A15, MATCH(0, COUNTIF(B1:$B$1, A2:A15)+IF(COUNTIF(A2:A15, A2:A15)>1, 0, 1), 0)), "")

    USE control + shift + enter
