I am trying to show possible duplicates in a report. A formula was recently posted here using Previous. It works well, but the problem I have is that it only puts Duplicate on the first row and not the second. I have shown some sample records below.:
Duplicate? | Last Name | First Name | Client ID | City |
Duplicate | Smith | Fred | FS123 | Salem |
Not | Smith | Fred | FSF654 | Salem |
|
|
|
|
|
Duplicate | Doe | John | 789654 | Salem |
Not | Doe | John | JD654 | Portland |
I need both of the Smith and the Doe to show as duplicate in the table. Some of the records are obviously not duplicates’, but someone has to review the entire record for both to make that determination. I am using the following formula:
=If([Last Name] = Previous([Last Name])) Then "duplicate" Else "Not"
I appreciate any help. Thank you.
