  2. Click Export List...
  3. Open product CSV
  4. Insert a new column to the right of the "sku" column
  5. In the new column, paste the following formula:

Additional information

If you are going to look in a bigger spectrum of rows, modify the formula accordingly

I.e.: For 1000 rows, use:

For Open Office: =IF(COUNTIF(C$2:C$1000;C2)>1;"Duplicate";"Unique")
For Excel/Google Sheets: =IF(COUNTIF(C2:C1000,C2)>1,"Duplicate","Unique")
