    Format all Cells that equal a text after count

    Hi

    I want to highlight only the cells that have the same name repeated more than 5 times between 2 columns.

    The formula below works except when entering formula into conditional formatter in excel it highlights all the cells from D4:E10 which contains other names.

    =SUMPRODUCT((D4:E10="Billy")*(D4:E10>5))

    Basically If Billy is repeated more than 5 times I want to highlight all Cells containing Billy within cells D4:E10.

    I appreciate any help on this

    So I entered this:

    I did this and all it displayed False. After selecting the required cells D4:E10 and entering the above formula in formatting condition nothing happened.

    Apologies if I'm miss-understanding

    The formula in post #2 is a replacement for your original formula, use it by itself as given, not attached to your old formulas.
