Course Description
 
In this webinar, you'll learn how to identify and manage duplicate data in Microsoft Excel. 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.

Topics Typically Covered:
  • Learn the mouse trick that lets you quickly make a copy of an existing worksheet.
  • Eliminate duplicates from a list with just a few mouse clicks.
  • Identify duplicates in a list using Conditional Formatting.
  • Filter list entries based on colors that you apply manually or with Conditional Formatting.
  • Use the Reapply command to refresh a list as you correct duplicate instances.
  • Use Conditional Formatting to color-code your data, identify duplicates, and apply icons.
  • Use the COUNTIF function to determine the number of times an item appears on a list.
  • Use Excel's COUNTIF function with Conditional Formatting to highlight the second and beyond instances of entries on a list.
  • Use the MATCH worksheet function to identify differences between two different lists.
  • Understand why numeric data may appear in a pivot table more than once, and how to correct the problem.
  • See how to instantly determine the number of duplicates in a list with a pivot table.
  • Improve the integrity of spreadsheets with Excel's VLOOKUP function.
  • Learn how VLOOKUP stops looking after it finds an initial match within a list.
  • Use the SUMIF function to summarize data based on a single criterion.
  • Use a wildcard character with SUMIF to summarize data based on a partial match.
  • Create a data validation rule that prevents users from entering the same data more than once in a list.
