    Excel 2010 Formula - compare values in column and identify those that are the same

    Hey All,

    I'm after a formula that will be able to look at all the data in column A and highlight the duplicates e.g. if AAAA229 is listed more than once, each of the values would be highlighted but if it is listed only once, it won't highlight.

    Make sense?

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thank you. I tried that but it was highlighting items that weren't duplicates as well as ones that were. Is there any other way that is more accurate?
