Count duplicate values across multiple columns
- 9 years ago
Maybe this is just language, but if you want to keep the dupilcates and count them, then surely you will end up with this.
First Name Last Name Address Number of Duplicates
Row XYZ John Smith 123 Sandpiper Lane 3
Row XYZ John Smith 123 Sandpiper Lane 3
Row XYZ John Smith 123 Sandpiper Lane 3
If you want to remove the duplciates and keep 1 copy of every row, then you will end up with this.
First Name Last Name Address Number of Duplicates
Row XYZ John Smith 123 Sandpiper Lane 3
You can also do this in Power Query. Just select Group By, and then select Count. The button is on the home tab to the right hand side of the menu
