Identify same names

[rodolform]

Hello everyone:

I have a row with names I want to find if any of those names ar
repeated and place a "1" on the cell next to the name that is repeate
and a "0" next to the the name that has no match.


Something like this:

John 0
mike 0
mary 1
Elias 0
mary 1
Thomas 0


If possible I want to do this with out writing code because I´m ver
new in the use of excel.

Thanks for your help.

Rodolf

Assuming the names are in col. A, starting in A1, put
this in B1 and fill down:

=(COUNTIF(A:A,A1)>1)+0

Can you explain the "3D" bit? I tried it out od curiosity and it cam
back as an error and suggested D3* instead.
I am presuming it is equivalent to =1* to convert True or False into
or

Do you see something like:

=3D(COUNTIF(A:A,A1)>1)+0

If yes, that wasn't in Jason's post. I don't see it when I connect directly to
the MSServers to read messages.

I'd bet it was something that excelforum is having trouble with. (I'd guess it
had something to do with that HTML junk.)

Thanks Dave - it was confusing the **** out of me!
I guess it is just like the %20 I sometimes see at the end of lines
