Hello,Sorry to hear that. But I did try both two methods, and they both work perfectly. If you don't mind, could you please give me more details about the problem? I am glad to help out. Looking forward to your reply.

I tried to use your function but it's full of syntax errors and even when I managed to fix them, it still doesn't work properly as it only displays "match found" if the cell is not empty but it doesn't check for duplicate at all.

Good job....
