*_Question by Miquez_: Delete Unique Records in Excel?*
I find it impossible to do the following in Excel.

I have a list of items as follows:
A
A
B
C
C
D

I would like to leave only those items in the list that are listed
more than once. So the desired end result would be:

A
A
C
C

From this list, I could then easily delete the duplicates, which would
leave:
A
C

Background: I have three lists with email addresses from an email
marketing campaign. List 1 contains addresses that bounced in Month 1,
List 1 in Month 2, and List 3 in Month 3. I merged the three lists,
and I would like a final list that contains addresses that bounced in
at least two of the three months. I will then delete these addresses
from our database.

Thanks very much for any help you can give!

merging them into 1 column made it easy.
asssume you merged your list in column A
then in B1 copypaste this formula

=IF(COUNTIF(A:A,A1)>1, IF(COUNTIF($A:A1,A1)=1,A1,""),"")

then copypaste the formula down the column.
you can autofilter column B or sort by column B and delete out the
ones you want.
that will get the
A
C

feel free to update the question or email me if something isnt
working.

edit-
this might work better in B1

=IF(COUNTIF(A:A,A1)>1,A1,"")

copy down and you will get a list of what to delete.
in other words your result
A
A
C
C
