Excel 2007
Windows 8
Hi all,
For this project i need to analyze clusters of data. My first step is to remove all none duplicates.
I have created this formula =COUNTIF(N:N,N1)=1, this goes all the way down to =COUNTIF(N:N,N5443)=1. My plan is to remove all rows that return a "True" to delete all non-duplicates.
I'm noticing, although 90% is recognized correctly, 10% is not. Some formulas return as true, when clearly there are duplicate values.
The N Column is trimmed, to correct for spaces.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this, or what the pitfalls with countif formulas usually are in this situation?

N Column | O Column | |
=COUNTIF(N:N,N5441)=1 Returns False | Trim(05441) | 89365K |
=COUNTIF(N:N,N5442)=1 Returns as False | Trim(O5442) | 89365K |
=COUNTIF(N:N,N5443)=1 Returns as True | Trim(O5443) | 002567 |
=COUNTIF(N:N,N5444)=1 Returns as True | Trim(O5444) | 002567 |
