[mso] Re: QUESTION ABOUT SORTING

well not sure it's the best way to do it or the quickest... but in excel I
do a regular sort and then I use formula =If(a1=a2,1,0) that will leave a
one were ever there is a match, then I do an auto filter on the 1.  can copy
or delete etc... not sure what your lists is exactly but if it's only
names.. that'll work.  if it's a list... then you will probably need to
compare more than one column to make sure the name is really a duplicate

Hello anyone,

  I have 5000 names and they come on a db file and need to sort for
duplicates names.  Is there a way to do that?  I have and know Excel but not
sure if Excel can sort for duplicates.

  Can anyone help?
