Here I introduce two formulas for you to extract duplicates.
Select a cell and type this formula =INDEX(A2:A11, MATCH(0, COUNTIF(C1:$C$1, A2:A11)+IF(COUNTIF(A2:A11, A2:A11)>1, 0, 1), 0)) into it, then press Shift + Ctrl + Enter keys. Then drag the fill handle down until #N/A appears.
Or you can use this formula =IFERROR(INDEX(A2:A11, MATCH(0, COUNTIF(C1:$C$1, A2:A11)+IF(COUNTIF(A2:A11, A2:A11)>1, 0, 1), 0)), ""), press Shift + Ctrl + Enter keys. Then drag the fill handle down until blank cell appears.
Note: In the above A2:A11 is the column range you want to extract duplicates from, and C1 is the first cell of the column where your formula is typed in.
