In C1 use =SUMPRODUCT((A1:$A$99=A1)*(B1:$B$99=B1))-1
Copy down the column
Select all the C entries; copy and use Edit | Paste Special Values (to make
the formulas into values)
Sort all the data by column C
Copy and Past the entries with C values greater than 0


OR learn to use a Pivot Table

I am trying to identify duplicates between two columns. Column A has a
number of customers. Column B has their purchases. I want to identify
any
duplicate records in column B for each group of customers in column A.
Any
ideas?

See example below. In this example, I would like to highlight/identify
Eggs
for Joe (as Eggs are the duplicate in Column B); Cereal and Bread for
Susan;
Pete is fine (no duplicates).

I would then need to create a report that would give me Joe and only Eggs
(once) and Apples; Susan Bread (once) and Cereal (once); etc.

Column A Column B
Joe Eggs
Joe Eggs
Joe Apples
Susan Cereal
Susan Bread
Susan Cereal
Susan Bread
Pete Milk
Pete Eggs


.
