    Incorrect Duplicate Values

    Hello,

    I have a list of values I want to find duplicates of. I have used conditional formatting but it appears to highlight alot of values that are not duplicates (through manual searching I can only highlight one true duplicate - in column B on attached file).

    Does conditional formatting have a maximum chaarcter count it can recognise? I tried googling the problem but nothing came up.

    Thanks

    Innes
