    Conditional formatting with dependent criteria

    Hello,

    I am trying to figure out the formula to highlight building numbers (column B) that are duplicates only if they can be found in more than one region (column A).
    The asterisk indicates the cells that should be highlighted:

    Region Building Number
    Fire TX2291*
    Fire FX45
    Fire FX45
    Fire fg*
    Truck fg*
    Truck TX2291*
    Truck TX2291*
    Basketball hi
    Basketball hi
    Kite fg*
    Kite TX2291*
    Kite ih
    Kite ih

    Thank you very much.
    Dustin

    You can fairly easy use PowerPivot (a free Microsoft add on) and UniqueCount in a pivot table to do this. You would essentially create a pivot off the table of data then bring in building number as the rows and unique count on region. If unique count for region is >1 then you have found your issues.

    You could also build a pivot table and make it tabular then do a count on the times building number comes up...
