    Conditionally formatting matching rows

    Hi,

    I'd like to conditionally format (with colour) rows of information in A1:K10 that are identical to other rows of information in the same range. Also is it possible to format the matching rows with different colours in order to highlight which selections are matching but different to the others? So for instance....


    1.1 Monday 12:00 14:00 03/03/10
    1.1 Monday 12:00 14:00 03/03/10
    1.2 Friday 09:00 10:30 06/02/10
    1.2 Friday 09:00 10:30 06/02/10

    The first two rows would be coloured yellow, the second two coloured green.
