I've got a spreadsheet with over 4000 rows of information.
It's a list of people with one column that uniquely identifies them, however because of other information in the sheet some are duplicated
I need to keep all the people who are duplicated, and get rid of those with single entries.
Is there a quick way to do this or do i have to get someone to go through them all?
Work have done it before by sorting by the unique identifier, scrolling down the list and deleting the single entries - i don't fancy that job!
Cheers.

could you not arrange by name or create lists, may make it easier, but no real way to filter out the "seperate ones"

Sort by the duplicated column then mock up a yes/no if formula where if (say) b1=a1 then the answer is yes
Copy and paste special values the if formulas and sort by yes/no, delete the yes's... da daaa... I do this everyday, simple but effective
