    help needed to find duplicate names and addresses

    i have a issue at work

    in the offices they use excel spreadsheets to prints out peoples addresses to deliver things to every day i keep getting the same delivery notes back
    even if the delivery notes has been logged as done....

    is there anyway we could try and find the same persons name and address by trying to find duplicates or something

    i would say the people in our offices are pretty thick as they log the jobs off as been done but continue to print the same name and addresses out maybe 2 days later.......

    thanks

    Thanks for the title change

    Can you upload a small (clean) sample workbook of what you are working with, and what you want.

    A few things come to mind (countif and Conditional Formatting for instance) but it may depend on what your data looks like
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Another approach might be to use Data Validation, which would prevent duplicate entries, but again, without seeing your layout etc, hard to be more specific
