counting the number of duplicate entries with excel

Post by anmac1789 »

I came across this video on youtube about counting the number of blocks of dupes using excel. Is there a way to do this with everything ?

Also, can we have isnumber() excel function in everything 1.5a ?

Take a look at the N() formula or the[N:] search preprocessor function.

Everything is not Excel.

To export your results to Excel:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the File menu, click Export.
  • Change the Save as type to: CSV
  • Choose a filename and click Save.
  • Click OK.
All added columns are exported.



To open the exported CSV file in Excel:
  • In Excel, from the Data ribbon, click From Text.
  • Change File origin to: 65001 : Unicode (UTF-8)
  • Click Next.
  • Uncheck Tab.
  • Check Comma.
  • Click Next.
  • Set your desired column types. (or leave as General)
  • Click Finish.
  • Click OK.


[N:]
N()

Thank you, selecting 65001 : Unicode (UTF-8) for file origin really helps to make a table without errors
