Sorting of data in excel 2003

[jonpdavies]

I have an excel 2003 workbook with 11 sheets.

they contain information by week and include 1 master sheet containing
all data.

the data are numbers e.g. account number.

the spreadsheets are as follows

august 1_10
august 11_20
august 31_30

going all the way to november.

The numbers/data may occur on more than one sheet.

my quesiton is what is the best way to show the duplicate number/data?
macro? chart?

thank you in advance.

I think the best way is to just use that one master sheet.

I'd insert a new column and use a formula something like this:
=countif(a:a,a1)

to see the unique/duplicate values. (unique will evaluate to 1).

Then I'd apply data|filter|autofilter to that helper column.

If you want to look at more ideas, you may want to visit Chip Pearson's site:

Thanks for the reply, although i need to somehow sort the data in the
weeks that they occur, any ideaS?

I think I'd still put all the relevant data into a worksheet--maybe just the
worksheet name and the date/number. Then you could process the duplicates and
use that as a key sheet to go to the other sheets.
