snanjund,

What have you tried to do?

An Excel Formula approach does not immediately come to mind, but the following Macro will work assuming the Worksheet is named Sheet1 and the SUBCATEGORY Values start in Row# 2/Column# 5:

Dim sht As Excel.Worksheet
Dim intRow As Integer

Set sht = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")

intRow = 2

With sht
  Do While .Cells(intRow, "E") <> ""
    'Assuming Categories start in Row# 2/Column# 5
    If .Cells(intRow, "E").Value = .Cells(intRow + 1, "E") Then
      .Cells(intRow, "F") = "TRUE"
    Else
      .Cells(intRow, "F") = "FALSE"
    End If
      intRow = intRow + 1
  Loop
End With

HI Adezii,

is there any possible way that i can fix this using ACCESS DATA BASE instead of excel VBA...

i have data around 2lakhs rows if i perform this operation in excel using VBA it takes time. so i want to fix this requirement in access data base.
