Finding and removing duplicates in Numbers on Mac can be a very daunting task if you do not know the right steps to follow. If you have a large data set with many duplicates, finding and removing them can help you to organize your data better. In this article, we will be discussing how you can find and remove duplicates in Numbers on Mac.

Step 1: Open your spreadsheet

The first step to finding and removing duplicates in Numbers on Mac is to open your spreadsheet. Click on the Numbers icon on the Dock or in the Applications folder to launch the app. Once it is open, click on the file you want to work with, or create a new one.

Step 2: Select the range of cells

Next, you need to select the range of cells where you want to search for duplicates. This can be done by clicking on the cell at the top left corner of the range then dragging the cursor to the bottom right cells.

Step 3: Choose the “Highlight Duplicates” option

Once you have selected the range of cells where you want to find duplicates, go to the menu bar and click on “Format”. From the drop-down menu, select “Conditional Highlighting”. Choose “Highlight Duplicates”.

Step 4: Choose the color

After selecting “Highlight duplicates”, a dialog box will pop up, and you can choose the color you want to use to highlight the duplicates. You can either choose a color from the palette or click on “Custom” to create your color.
