hi again,

Question no1.

how can i create a macro to check any duplicated number within a range of
numbers .(i.e- column A- AZ)

requirement- to be checked right through out the work when ever someone
entering a new number.

question no-02,

i need to get a cell's value(which is text and assinged as a heading for a
column)
to another cell which is in worksheet2. this should work if only the
condition is true. e.i- worksheet1;column a,1- heading is "teamA ". and  
under the team A
listed numbers are 5,8,10. , worksheet 2 has a table for staff id numbers as
1-100.
and need to show the team name in the ajoining column (b). actually in
worksheet i has few team names from A to K and different staff i.ds would be
listed.

hope you got my point clearly.
is there a function for this or have we to create a macro for this.pls
give me the full details on how i can overcome this question.

For that first one, I'd say check out MVP Debra Dalgleish's discussion
on data validation and duplicates.  Yes, this does work with Macs, too;
I use both platforms:

Question 2, I'm not clear.  Sounds like what you're trying to do is use
VLOOKUP.  Can you describe the problem in more detail, or provide an
example?

You may be better off preventing duplication, which you can do using
Validation rather than a macro:
