The company I work for uses Excel for their billing and invoices.... We have run into a snag with one of our customers.

They give use unique billing numbers for each job we do for them and pay according to those numbers. If there is a duplicate on the invoice, then the first is paid and the second is knocked out of the system and not paid.

Is there anyway in Excel to set a column to only accept unique entries and output and error if a duplicate is entered?

Hmm.. I think the validation rule does something similar, not sure if it works in this case or not.

Check something like this to validate A2 cell:

=COUNT.IF($A$2:$A$65536;A2)=1


Next copy cell contents, select cells A3:A65536, and "paste special -> validation" (or sth like this).

Best regards,
