Return a value if a condition is met

[manojrf]

Hi friends,


I have been trying to figure out the solution to find a formula to return a value if a letter or word is repeated 2 times in range.


For example :


Sheet1

	A	B	C	D	E	F
1	S	B	N	U	I	S
2						H

<colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; "><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

Excel tables to the web >> Excel Jeanie HTML 4






As shown above, the letter "S" is repeated 2 times in Row 1. What I am trying to do is to make a formula to put "H" in Row 2 below the second "S" (found in F1).


I have tried countif, count, rept and so on. But couldn't make one.


Can anyone please help me?

Hope someone would help me.


Thanks in advance.

I assume you're putting the formula in all cells across row 2.
If you use

=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A$1,A1)>1,"H","")

That should work.

Sheet1

	A	B	C	D	E	F
1	S	B	N	U	I	S
2						H

Hi,

Forgot to tell that the letters in Row 1 may get scrambled and so the position of the letter S may change.

Actually I am trying to put the letter H in Row 2, below the second and fourth S (which is Row 1)

For eg:

Sheet1

A

B

C

D

E

F

G

H

I

J

K

L

1

A

S

I

X

S

P

S

E

Q

Y

U

S

2

H

H

<colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; "><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"><col style="width:64px;"></colgroup><tbody>

The above formula from TryingSomethingNew should work
