    Re: Find and Tag duplicate formula

    hi albert. isn't Samsung Galaxy Note 1 a duplicate too? if so, try this in C2
    =IF(COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,B:B,B2)>1,"Duplicate","")

    Re: Find and Tag duplicate formula

    it works perfectly, thanks benishiryo.

    how about i need to tag "1" in column D if the tag from column C is duplicate per column A. For example in Apple we found duplicate Iphone 5 and i just wanted to have a tag as 1 only in the first 1 found duplicate.

    thanks.
    Col A Col B Col C Col D
    Apple Iphone 5 duplicate 1

    Apple Iphone 5s duplicate 1

    Apple Iphone 4s duplicate 1
