    How to extract duplicates with date as well.

    Hi,
    I'm struggling to create a list of duplicates in Excel. I have a list of dates in column A and names in column B. I'd like to create a list in 2 separate columns, let's say C and D, that lists all the names that are duplicated in column B, along with the date that each person appears.
    So if row 3 and 4 had the same name with the dates 10/8/19 and 14/8/19, repsectively, then I would like them to appear in columns C and D like that.
    Ideally I would like this to run automatically as new names and dates are continuously added, so I would imagine an array formula would work well but I can't seem to do this myself. I'm also unsure how to input array formulas in Excel on a mac (2019 version), is it command-shift-enter?
    Many thanks!

    Welcome to the forum

    Please attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    Hi rpclarke94 and welcome to the forum,

    See the attached where I've added a Helper column with a Countifs() formula and then done an advanced filter to get the results I think you want. I created some random data to show what I think you have.

    Countifs() and Adv Filter for Helper.xlsx
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Re: How to extract duplicates with date as well.

    Thanks for that, the result is exactly what I want but is there not a way to update it automatically? I've added new names and dates to your list and although the names are added, the dates aren't showing up correctly. For instance, I added another row as name4 with the date 12/9/19 and it shows up with the date 11/8/19?

    Re: How to extract duplicates with date as well.

    Using the sample file attached to post #4 try the following:
    1. Convert A1:B9 into a table
    2. Add a helper column (duplicates) populated using: =COUNTIFS([Name],[@Name])>1
    3. Populate the Duplicates column of the output range using: =IFERROR(INDEX(Table1[Name],AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW(Table1[Name])-ROW(Table1[[#Headers],[Name]]))/(Table1[duplicates]=TRUE),ROWS(A$1:A1))),"")
    4. Populate the Dates column of the output range using: =IF(E2="","",AGGREGATE(15,6,Table1[Date]/(Table1[Name]=E2),COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)))
    Note that if another row is added to the table (by selecting cell B9 and pressing the tab key) then Sarah is given the date 12/9/19 her name and the new date will appear in the output range.
    Note that, as shown, similar results may be obtained using a pivot table.
