I have identified potential fraud in a limited number of employees' time keeping postings and would like to figure out how to test if it is prevalent throughout the company.

Here's the scenario: Looking at daily time sheet records I identified that certain employees had identical daily time sheets for an entire year (total hours each consecutive day were equal for every day of the year). While I only identified a few sets of employees with identical records for an entire year, I want to test whether it was occurring for smaller time periods (like one or two months at a time).

There are about 100 employees I want to test against one another over a 2-3 year period. Anyone have an idea how to do this?

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
I think you would need to provide some smallish sample dummy data and expected results to demonstrate the concept & requirements.
