I have numbers in two columns like A and B. How can I get the number of
duplicates in column C and delete the rest.


I have:

A B
256 256
256 256
256 256
345 345
789 789
631 879
436 789
523 282
523 282

I want:

A B C
256 256 3
345 345 1
789 789 1
631 879 1
436 789 1
523 282 2

I would use a couple of helper columns:

First, I'd add headers in A1 and B1
In C1, put a header of "Combo"
In D1, put a header of "Count"

In C2, put this formula:
=A2&"--"&B2

In D2, put this formula:
=IF(COUNTIF($C$2:C2,C2)>1,"Delete me",COUNTIF($C$2:$C$999,C2))

Then select C2:D2 and drag down as far as your data goes.

Then convert columns C:D to values
Select column C:D
edit|copy
followed by
edit|paste special|values

Select column D
Data|Filter|Autofilter
Filter to only show the "delete me" rows
Select those visible cells
edit|delete row
Remove the autofilter (data|filter|autofilter again)

Delete column C

This is the formula that I'm looking for.

=COUNTIF(C:C,C1)

Does anyone know how can I create this function in macro?

thx.

If you want to add the formula to a cell, try recording a macro when you do it
manually and you'll have the code.

The formula "=COUNTIF(D:D,D1)" looks at the entire two column and and then
outputs number of repeating numbers.
What I want is, it look in col. B and if numbers gets changed it start the
calculation again.
For example if I have same number in two different places of my range it will
add them together which I don't want.
Is there anyway to do this?

thx.

For example:

I have:

A B
256 256
256 256
256 256
345 345
789 789
631 879
436 789
523 282
523 282
256 256
256 256
256 256

I want:

A B C
256 256 3
345 345 1
789 789 1
631 879 1
436 789 1
523 282 2
256 256 3 <=== Instead of 6

Hello,

I updated my UDF. Now you can select C1:D9 and array-enter:
=lfreq(A1:A9&B1:B9)

Hello,

This you can do with some helper columns:
Enter into C1:H1:
1 =IF(C1=1,MATCH(1,C2:C$999,FALSE),0) 1 =INDEX($A$1:$A$999,MATCH(ROW(),
$E$1:$E$999,FALSE)) =INDEX($B$1:$B$999,MATCH(ROW(),$E$1:$E$999,FALSE))
=INDEX($D$1:$D$999,MATCH(ROW(),$E$1:$E$999,FALSE))

And into C2:H2:
=IF(AND(A1=A2,B1=B2),0,1) =IF(C2=1,MATCH(1,C3:C$999,FALSE),0)
=IF(D2>0,E1+1,E1) =INDEX($A$1:$A$999,MATCH(ROW(),$E$1:$E$999,FALSE))
=INDEX($B$1:$B$999,MATCH(ROW(),$E$1:$E$999,FALSE)) =INDEX($D$1:$D
$999,MATCH(ROW(),$E$1:$E$999,FALSE))

Copy C2 down to C13 and D2:H2 down to D12:H12

Bernd

This is what I got so far, but I get wrong calculation when either column has
more repeated numbers.
In sheet1 I have data in A:K and col. G:H contains my numbers.
Any Help?

Dim RowNdx As Long

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
LastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row

.Offset(0, -2).Value = name
.Offset(0, -1).Formula = " "

.Offset(0, 2).Formula = " "

.Offset(0, 3).Formula = " "

How can I have your formula without this part "Delete me" ?

Why would you not want the "delete me"?

It designates which cells are extraneous so's you can follow the rest of Dave's
instructions.

If left blank, how would you find the cells later?

But if you want that, just get rid of delete me from between the double quotes.

=IF(COUNTIF($C$2:C2,C2)>1,"",COUNTIF($C$2:$C$999,C2))
