Countif?

S

SteveDB1

Hello all.
Ok.... I have a table of data. Some are duplicated, and I'd like to find out
which one's, and how many.
I've got six columns of 5 digit#'s, spread out with match(), and countif()
in each subsequent column, and I want to do a "bulk" countif, just counting
the 5 digit#'s. I did try a countifs(), and that doesn't apply for my
situation here.
I.e.,
ColA ColB ColC ColD
........
12345 match() countif(A1:J100,A1) 56789 ......
....... ...... ..... .......
.......

Here's the catch.
Because of everything else within the group-- a match equation to make sure
I have everything needed, I wanted to place the countif at the end of each
individual grouping, and it of course returns a circular reference error.
So, my question is:
I need to countif, or something to count all incidences of my 5 digit
numbers to determine if there are duplicates, and which ones.
How can I have a count if that will account for 6 range columns, without
creating a circular reference?
you'll ask me then why not just place them in a single column.
I had placed them all in a single column before and after I'd processed
everything I found other errors that I wasn't previously anticipating; so
I've placed them all back in columns-- accounting for their source location,
an important aspect in this specific case.
If this isn't clear enough, send me an email, and I'll forward a sample in
xls. Oh, I am working in 2007 if that matters. We however save our files in
compatible mode.

As always, thank you, in advance.
Best.

Hi Steve

You can send it to me as an xlsx file if you want.
Remove NOSPAM from my address.
