Sorting and finding duplicates in excel columns -
i have 5 columns in spreadsheet, 3 of filled assorted names( first, fourth , fifth columns).
i need way cross-reference each cell in column d , e columns, have output answers question in b , c column (which can see xs), whether found. i've tried combination of vlookup , match, proving out of realm. haven't used excel lately.
edit: added picture instead of diagram
in cell b3 use =if(countifs(d:d,a:a),"","x")
and in c3 use =if(countifs(d:d,a:a),"","x")
copy down far required
formula says "if count of names in d:d equal name in current row in a:a > 0 return blank, else return "x"
test case-insensitive.
