    searching for duplicate entries in a column on multiple worksheets

    I have a multi worksheet spreadsheet and I am looking to identify if there are any duplicate entries - i.e if the same number appears more than once in any sheet, the unique number should only appear once and I want to ensure that this is true.

    The column I want to search in each work sheet is column A, and I have individually named each worksheet

    Re: searching for duplicate entries in a column on multiple worksheets

    Hi Iain,

    I'm not sure you can do this problem using Conditional Formatting as I read:

    Not using CF try this formula
    =COUNTIF(Rand1,A2)+COUNTIF(Rand2,A2)+COUNTIF(Rand3,A2)

    see the attached
