Hi all,
UNIQUE() is awesome, but im in a situation where I need to find the opposite, I need it to show me what was a duplicate.
Instead of returning a list of unique items, I need Excel to show me which items were duplicates?
So if my list were "Apple", "Apple", "Banana", "Pear"
The return would be "Apple"

Thanks for any help on this.
Jase.

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Excel Formula:
=UNIQUE(FILTER(A1:A4,COUNTIF(A1:A4,A1:A4)>1))
