Wonder if you guys could assist...
So, i have two columns with unique identifiers, column A = unique identifier 1 and Column B = unique identifier 2... Column A is unique to a record and column B is to distinguish between multiple records so concatenating the two will result in a totally unique value.
What i need is a formulae which can count how many lines which are not unique when combined.
I'd rather not have another column when concatenated, can this be done in a single formulae?

Hi there.
A picture is worth 1,000 words. An Excel sheet is worth 1,000 non-editable pictures.
Please read the yellow banner about sample worksheets, at the top of the screen. Act on its guidelines and post a SMALL sample sheet complete with an explanation and some expected results.

Welcome to the forum.
Maybe this?
=COUNTA(A1:A7)-(COUNTA(UNIQUE(A1:B7))/2)
Change the ranges to suit your data.
