thats terrific, thanks so much
however, i want it in a function code, so that it will automatically tell me if there are any duplicates, also it should give me either the cell reference or the actual data that is duplicated, is there any way to get that?

Hi Jack,

you can give a try as below

73154

Kindly note, if duplicate value comes third time (or more than three times) in the column then the above solution will give the cell address value of first occurance cell only :p
