I have a column with several thousand records. I would like an easy way to
identify duplicate values. I can sort them ascending but still this would
require manually scanning the list for duplicates. Is there a function that
could help?
 
You could try Format > Conditional Formating and use the formula
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$1000,A1)>1

and set the format to red text or whatever to highlight the duplicates,

Worked great. Thanks!
