    Highlighting numbers that appear more than 3 times

    Good afternoon,

    Simple question. I have 6 digit item numbers in column F. I want to highlight all that appear more than twice. How can I go about doing that? Thanks in advance

    In Conditional Format by formula try this

    =COUNTIF($F$2:$F$500,F2)>2

    Applies to =$F$2:$F$500

    Re: Highlighting numbers that appear more than 3 times

    So I've tried that, but it will only highlight the value in f2 that is present more than 3 times in the range. Or am I doing something wrong? I want it to highlight every value in column F that appears more tha twice

    Check the relative / absolute cell addressing. It sounds like you have entered

    =COUNTIF($F$2:$F$500,$F$2)>2

    or

    =COUNTIF($F$2:$F$500,F$2)>2

    in my formula (or in TMS's)

    It's

    =COUNTIF($F$2:$F$500,F2)>2

    or

    =COUNTIF($F$2:$F$500,$F2)>2
