Alternative Methods to Find and Remove Duplicates in Excel Online

Using the Remove Duplicates Feature
The Remove Duplicates feature in Excel Online makes it easy to quickly identify and delete duplicate entries in a dataset. To use this feature, you first need to select the range of cells where you want to search for duplicates. Then, click on the Data tab in the ribbon and select the Remove Duplicates option. Excel Online will then display a dialog box where you can select which columns to search for duplicates. Once you have made your selection, click OK and Excel Online will identify and delete all duplicate entries in the dataset.
Using Formulas to Find Duplicates
If you don't want to use the Remove Duplicates feature, you can use formulas to search for duplicates in a column or range of cells. The COUNTIF formula is the most commonly used formula for this purpose. To use the COUNTIF formula, you need to specify the range of cells you want to search and the value you want to count. For example, the formula =COUNTIF(A2:A10,"John") will count the number of times the name "John" appears in the range A2 to A10. If the result is greater than 1, it means that there is at least one duplicate entry in the range.
Using Conditional Formatting to Highlight Duplicates
The Conditional Formatting feature in Excel Online can be used to quickly identify duplicates in a selection of cells. To use this feature, first select the range of cells where you want to search for duplicates. Then, click on the Home tab in the ribbon and select Conditional Formatting > Highlight Cells Rules > Duplicate Values. This will open a dialog box where you can select the formatting options for the duplicates. Once you have made your selection, click OK and Excel Online will highlight any duplicate entries in the selection.
Using the Filter Feature
The Filter feature in Excel Online can also be used to quickly find and delete duplicates. To use this feature, first select the range of cells where you want to search for duplicates. Then, click on the Data tab in the ribbon and select Filter. This will add drop-down arrows to the column headers of the selection. Click on the drop-down arrow of the column where you want to search for duplicates and select the Filter by Color option. Then, select the color that was used to highlight the duplicates and click OK. This will display only the duplicate entries in the selection, which you can then delete.
Conclusion
Finding and removing duplicates in Excel Online is a simple process that can help you clean up your data quickly and easily. With the Remove Duplicates feature, formulas, Conditional Formatting, and the Filter feature, you have several options to find and delete duplicates in your data.
