Duplicate List in Excel Workflows (Find & Extract Duplicates) | WizardOfAZ

Duplicate List In Excel

duplicate list in excel typically means one of two jobs: identifying repeated values for cleanup or pulling a duplicates-only report for auditing. If the worksheet has thousands of entries, isolating duplicates early prevents downstream formulas from double-counting and keeps pivot summaries honest. Excel includes built-in options to remove duplicates, and Microsoft notes that the “Remove Duplicates” action evaluates selected columns as the key while removing whole rows. Before deleting anything, it’s often smarter to extract duplicates into a separate list, because audits, merges, and contact deconfliction all require evidence of what was repeated. Duplicate List focuses on finding duplicates, counting occurrences, and extracting repeated values from a pasted list, which produces a review-ready output without setting up Excel formulas. Options like case sensitivity and whether to show the first only or all occurrences help match real-world rules (e.g., treating “ABC” and “abc” as the same code or as separate). After exporting the duplicates report, it can be pasted back into Excel as a short “exceptions table” for follow-up, rather than reworking the entire dataset. To avoid false duplicates, normalize formatting first—trim spaces and choose one delimiter style—because Excel and other systems often treat hidden whitespace as part of the value. Finally, keep the duplicates report alongside the cleaned sheet so changes are traceable and easy to explain during reviews.

Duplicate List In Reminders

duplicate list in reminders usually comes up when building reusable checklists—packing lists, client onboarding steps, or a standard “job template” that needs to be copied for every new project. In many reminder apps, copying an entire list can be fiddly, so a text-first approach is often quicker: keep the checklist as plain lines, duplicate the lines as needed, then paste back into Reminders. Duplicate List can repeat items a chosen number of times and can also target only lines matching a pattern, which is handy when only certain steps should repeat (for example, “Call customer” for multiple contacts). That pattern-based duplication is useful for templated workflows where only the variable steps need multiplying, while the fixed steps stay single-copy. Practical cases that benefit from controlled duplication: - Creating three identical “Daily close” checklists for different store branches. - Repeating a “Review draft” step across multiple document sections. - Generating multiple identical subtasks from one master line. When pasting back into Reminders, keeping one task per line avoids accidental merges and makes re-ordering easier on mobile. For privacy, it also helps that the WizardOfAZ list tools are described as running locally in the browser, which can matter if the checklist includes client names or internal notes. If the intention is to create templates, store the original “master checklist” separately so it can be duplicated again without accumulating edits from the live list.

Duplicate List In Clickup

duplicate list in clickup can refer to duplicating an entire ClickUp List (as a container) or duplicating the task lines inside it for repeating work. Videos and guides commonly describe using ClickUp’s “Duplicate” option on a list to create a copy with tasks and settings, which supports template-style reuse for projects. When only the task names need multiplying—like generating 20 identical review tasks with different owners filled in later—prebuilding the repeated task lines as plain text can be faster than clicking “add task” repeatedly. Duplicate List can duplicate each pasted line a set number of times, and it can apply duplication selectively using a regex/pattern so only certain tasks repeat (for example, duplicating “QA pass” but not “Kickoff”). That selective approach reduces cleanup later, because it avoids creating duplicates that must be deleted after import. After generating the repeated lines, paste them into ClickUp where new tasks are created from multi-line paste (or into an import field), then assign due dates and owners in bulk. For teams that require traceability, keeping the generated text list alongside the ClickUp template makes it clear how many duplicates were intended and why. If the list is being duplicated for multiple clients, consider adding a prefix/suffix to each task name after duplication so tasks stay searchable (e.g., “Client A — ”), then paste into ClickUp in one go. When the goal is structural duplication (copying the entire list), use ClickUp’s own duplicate feature; when the goal is text-level repetition, generating the repeated entries first can reduce manual effort.
