Using a summary report to spot duplicates

Question

Hello! Is there any possible way I could use a summary report to spot duplicates of records in the same table? Each record has a formula text field that shows a unique code for each record, however, some of the records have the same unique code. I was wondering if I could use a summary report to find records with the same codes. If not, what should I try?

np, just make a summary report of unique codes and click the column twice to get it to sort form hiugh to low, then save. The dups will float to the top.

There is also the option to filter to only show instances where the count for the unique code is greater than one. This will then show you only the duplicates.

For some reason, when I made the report, it doesn't count any of the duplicates. The summary simply shows the codes and a "1" next to it (I can't show the column with the codes in it since it contains client info).
These are some of the settings I used. Have I overlooked something? This is my first time using summary reports.
