    Conditional Formatting highlights none duplicate based on rows & columns

    Hi All,

    I'm trying achieve for conditional formatting to highlights the none duplicate values which is based on rows & columns. It is comparing with the row eg: (B2 & I2, C2 & J2, D2 & K2, E2 & L2, F2 & M2, G2 & N2) etc... (for easier reference, i have manually colored the columns). This is actually a reverse looking for the duplicate values, but I have no idea how to achieve this.

    Please find attachment & any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank-You very much

    You can still use the duplicate values rule. First, set all cells to a colour, then set the duplicates rule to uncolour the cells that are duplicate, which should leave you with what you want.

    No - you apply the rule to the entire range.

    Re: Conditional Formatting highlights none duplicate based on rows & columns

    Sorry AliGW,
    I dont really get you.

    Duplicate worksheet:
    I have apply the rule to the entire range but its all left with just 1 color (manually colored entire range to yellow & duplicate to white).

    None-Duplicate worksheet:
    it works. but as I mentioned, very manual since I want the comparing cells between B2 & I2, B3 & I3..etc.. (manually colored entire range to yellow & duplicate to white by ctrl 1by1)

    I have attached the worksheet for better visibility.

    Thank-You very much

    You've marked this as solved, so I presume you have found another way to do what you want.
