    Duplicate Values looking at 2 columns

    Hi All,

    I have a column of names in column A

    in column B I have dates

    I want to do a conditional format where if the name and date in row 1 happens again, it will be highlighted

    Example,

    A B
    John Doe 31/05/2015

    if this happens twice, i want to highlight it

    Thanks in advance

    Re: Duplicate Values looking at 2 columns

    =COUNTIFS($A:$A,$A1,$B:$B,$B1)>1

    This will highlight only duplicated value not the Original One.

    The response at Post 2 seems to highlight them all. ThCF used in the attached file will highlight only the duplicates...
