Outlook Calendar - mark / show duplicate based on "Start"-date only

Due to migrating Google Calendar into Outlook latter has a number of duplicates.

However, the issue is, they are -not- exact duplicates, only the Start date-time are duplicates.
The end-timestamp may differ slightly and also the title.

Most duplicate checkers are checking on exact duplicates, so they are of no use.

How to find and show duplicates based on the Start-date/time only.

Show .. not delete, I would like to verify first which one should be deleted.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You could use the View menu to change Current view to something in list form such as All appointments that you can then sort by the Start column.
Do note what your Current view is beforehand so you can get back to it easily.

Many thanks indeed.
I tried your way but regretfully I could get it done. Sorry.

However, I also went on myself and have found a workaround and solved the matter.

Workaround:
1. Calendar - set view to list (details view)
2. Select all
3. Ctrl-C and paste it into Excel
4. Remove the 'days text' in the 'Start' column (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) so you will get 'clean' date-times
5. Sort the column
6. Add a new column - "Duplicates"
6. Then use a formula to mark the possible duplicates in "Start"-column.

For instance, when "Start"-dates are in column C , one might use a formula like =IF(C3=C2;"Delete";"")

this way duplicate rows are marked with 'Delete'

from that point on manually delete the entries.
As said, a workaround.

Anyway, thanks again.
