Duplicate Query
I am attempting to find duplicate numbers by creating a new query in Access.
I have imported an excel file with multiple worksheets into access and would like to find out what the duplicate numbers are and where they are located without erasing/replacing the existing data. Not sure how to build the query. Help please. |

Duplicate Query
My apologies, I should have stated that I did attempt the query wizard. I
went to Queries, New, Find Duplicate Query Wizard, and it produces a dialogue box in which different tables are listed. It then asks if I want to view Tables, Queries, or Both. No matter the selection, it comes back with a message stating, "You must select a table or query that contains at least one field that does not have the memo or OLE data type". I tried to just manually build a query in Design View, but am not sure what to input in the following fields, Field, Table, Sort, Show, Criteria, Or. Any further direction on this one would be so appreciated. Thanks for your time. "John W.

Not sure how to build the query. Help please. I guess I don't understand. Did you import multiple worksheets into one table? If so, use the Duplicates query on that table. Or did you import each worksheet into its own table, and you want to find all duplicates across all the tables? What's the context? What constitutes a "duplicate"? How are your tables structured?
