Sometimes to maintain the uniqueness of all values available in a workbook, we require to eliminate duplicate values from the dataset. A case of duplicity may arise when there are two columns having email addresses and you want to find the repeating ones in one of the columns. This can be achieved using the below steps. Comparing two columns of Email Addresses to Find the Same values using Formula Step 1: We have taken a sample data as following. Here we have taken two columns having some email addresses and a third column in which we will display ... Read More

In this article we will learn how to compare values of two columns to get the values from the third column.

Now, we will get the students name in another column against some randomly taken class names. Let’s see how this can be achieved using an excel formula. Compare two columns and getting value from third column with VLOOKUP function Step 1: We have taken the following sample data for comparison. Step ... Read More

For instance, we have two columns in a data set having some names. And now we want to identify what names are repeating in either list. For this, we can apply a formula in two other columns, to get the unique values of both the columns. Let’s see how we can achieve this. Compare two columns and list differences with formulas Step 1: We have taken the following sample data for comparison. Step 2: Enter the formula in E2 cell as mentioned below. This formula will return the unique names of column 1, which are not ... Read More

When we have a bunch of data and need to compare rows and columns to maintain uniqueness then we might need to apply multiple formulas to the dataset.
