    Question Checking for duplicate text data across four sheets within a workbook

    Hi there,

    I hope you can help.

    I've looked at various solutions but cannot seem to find an answer online.

    I have four people populating lists of company names in different sheets within a shared workbook. I am keen to avoid duplicates so would like person inputting data to know if the data exists on another sheet.

    Currently I have four sheets in the names of people collecting the data e.g. Mike, Chris, Gary and Paul.

    What I would like is that if Mike entered the name Pepsi and it was already on another sheet it is highlighted. Ultimately I would like this behavior on all sheets so if Paul entered data on Mike's sheet etc.

    Is this possible within Excel? I can see examples that use various formulas for comparing two sets of data but nothing that permits checking more than two data sets at once.

    Is this possible?

    I'm using Excel 365.

    Thanks for your help

    Mike

    1. Please update your profile to reflect the version of Excel you are using.

    2. 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.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE
