    Duplicate Courses in Program of Study

    As students enroll or complete courses, the course numbers and prefixes could be placed in column A (A11:A67), column E (E11:E58), and column F (F11:F58) of the Program of Study worksheet. I want to make sure that if any course is listed twice (duplicated) in any of these cells in the Program of Study Worksheet that it is "flagged" (for example, the cells will highlight red where the courses are duplicated). How can I accomplish this? Thank you for your help!

    As there is already red highlighting for the blank cells in column A I formatted the following conditional formatting using amber:

    Tangent: FWIW, I took Algebraic Topology in my junior fall, Differential Topology in my senior spring, and both had the same course designation, Mathematics 74, Special Topics in Topology.

    I realize you're only flagging duplicates, but in some schools in some departments, course designations are used for multiple distinct classes and may be taken multiple times.

    You are absolutely correct. I had the same experience in pursuing my graduate degree as well. In our department, that is not the case albeit I have tried to lobby for that kind situation.
