I am having trouble explaining what I really want...here is another try... On sheet The digits in range a5:a is multiply by 12,13,37,101,111 using the formula arrayformula(if(a5:a="",,a5*{12,13,37,101,111})).. the results are distributed across b5:f which is then conditionally formatted to highlight duplicates when compared to the list of digits in i5:I and k5:k.. This is working great.... But I to advance this setup....
I actually want the following...
Once a duplicate is detected..... state's name and duplicate number (h5:I or j5:k)..is generated in the range B5:f or even A5:f .. thus displaying the state and exact number drawn in that specific state...
And in the case where there are no duplicates....results from the arrayformula(if(a5:a="",,a5*{12,13,37,101,111}))Remains the same....until a duplicate is generated ....it is important to note that foundation of these data is scrapped from a webpage...I have got several help from persons online with the creation of formula as I develop the sheet
