Author Sun Last modified

If you have a column of product list, and some of them are duplicates, now you need to extract only duplicates from this list to other column, how can you solve? In general, you may find them one by one then type them manually. Now I will tell you some quick methods to extract duplicates from one column in Excel.

Extract duplicates from one column with formulas

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.

another formula to extract duplicates

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.
