You'll use a pivot table to determine how many duplicates are in a list and apply worksheet functions such as SUMIF and COUNTIF to tally or count duplicates. Upon completion of this course, you'll be able to: - Apply the Advanced Filter and Remove Duplicates features
- Define how to visually identify duplicate records with the Conditional Formatting feature
- Describe how to use a pivot table to calculate how many times duplicates appear within a list
- Identify differences between two different lists
- Create a data validation rule that ensures users can't enter the same data more than once in a given area of a spreadsheet
- Copy an existing worksheet using an easy mouse trick
- Use a wildcard character to summarize data based on a partial match
- Refresh a list as you correct instances of duplicates
David demonstrates every technique at least twice, first on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second in Excel 2016. He'll draw to your attention any differences in Excel 2013, 2010, or 2007 during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts.
