    Need help finding and highlighting same values

    Hi,

    I need to locate and highlight cells that have the same value in a column, e.g.

    000116
    000117
    000119
    000119
    000120
    000120
    000120
    000121
    000122
    000123

    Is there a way to highlight the cells (possible to give them a colour to make them easier to locate?) with the same numbers? In the example above they will be the ones with 000119 and 000120 in them?

    Thanks.

    Hi NoBob,

    You can use Conditional Formatting to do this job. Read this link for pictures on how to do it.

    Thanks, I'll give it a try when I get back in front of the computer. Hope it's the same on a Mac (working with Excel 2011 and 2016).
