    conditional format if range has more than one entry

    Hi, I am having trouble figuring out how to highlight a cell with conditional formatting if a range of cells in a column has more than one entry? (an entry of any type more than one) I thought it would be easy but so far I am not getting it. Can someone help?

    Assuming your cell starts from A1 in Column A. Under Conditional Formatting, use custom formula as type and enter this formula =COUNTIF($A:$A,$A)>1 then apply your format.

    You could Use a formula... to set the condition - something like this:

    =COUNTA(range)>1

    Hope this helps.
