    Conditional format for duplicate values based on criteria in a different cell

    I would like to highlight all the duplicate cells under Invoice column only if the Track column has a highlighted red cell because of the "Retro" description. I have attached a sample. I'm sure it's a formula to use under conditional formatting, but I do not know how to write out a formula based on this criteria.

    Hi

    Highlight the range C2:C15, conditional formatting, new rule, with formula
    =ISNUMBER(MATCH(C2,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("RETRO",$G$2:$G$15)),$C$2:$C$15,""),0))

    Select your format and save.

    HTH

    hi excelheaven, highlight C2:C15 & go to Home -> Conditional Formatting -> New Rule -> Use a formula to determine which cells to format -> Format values where this formula is true:
    =AND(COUNTIF($C$2:$C$15,$C2)>1,ISNUMBER(SEARCH("retro",$G2)))

    is that what you want?
