    Unhappy Conditional formatting multiple sheets?

    Hi,

    Is there a way for a cell to be highlighted if the reference in the cell has been used before/repeated elsewhere within multiple sheets.

    At the moment I have =COUNTIF(C:C,C20)>1 as a condtional format in each sheet, however it only looks up column C in the current sheet, what I wondering was if it was possible to have a formula that looks at column C for all the sheets in the workbook.

    Thank you

    I would accumulate the counts onto a summary sheet.. with formula like:

    =SUM('Sheet1:Sheet10',X1) where X1 on each sheet contains formula:

    =COUNTIF(C:C,C20)

    then do a conditional check for =X1>1

    If you highlighting something on each sheet based on X1 in summary sheet, then name X1 cell something and use that name in the conditional test... e.g. CellName>1
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
